White pine. Five needles to a bundle. The needles are edible and can be made into a tea, which contains vitamin c and is expectorant. Usually if i am eating the needles i only eat the lower half of each needle, as they get tougher out towards the point. Most people find the piney taste objectionable, but to me it tastes like my childhood. . . Once i used a loop made from a strip of the inner bark (which is slippery along the grain and sticky across the grain) to remove a bullet from the wound channel it had made. Not the sort of thing i do frequently, but níl dlí ar riachtanas, as the saying goes. No law over necessity. . . . . #wildedibles #herbalmedicine #treeofpeace #pine #tree #christmastree #nature
