@rootcauseseattle: A fun fact about Salal (Gaultheria shallon) is that you’ll often find it growing underneath Cedar Trees. Do you have any native plants you love?
It rhymes with fall. Salal rhymes with fall. Happy to help.

ooh I have a weird question
are there any native plants that are ground cover, take partial sun, and don't grow very tall? there's a patch of dirt in front of my apartment that is utterly ignored by management and I'd love to put something better than grass there, but I think if I plant wildflowers or bushes the height would get them noticed and mowed down.

Is this still harvested illegally for floral arrangements? I know it was big in the 90’s

The most important thing you forgot is the Salau’s grow berries that have so many antioxidants in them and they’re so good for you and they’re yummy

They REALLY seem to enjoy growing around a nurse stump. I have them all over my property where the old growth stumps area still there

I’ve lived around salal most of my life and have basically taken them for granted. I heard that the natives used the berries for trade and I tried to make a pressed cake one time. I didn’t know what I was doing and the berries I had were full of maggots so I gave up. I looked it up on google a few minutes ago and I got the ai generic answer then I dove deeper with a question about natives trading it. I might just try it again. The berries are getting ripe and they’re everywhere here on the Olympic Peninsula.

True about the symbiosis with western red cedar. The big salal thicket under one our cedars is 6 ft tall.

It has such a distinct sound. when you move it, I immediately was transported to a hike I took outside of Olympia

Hey, What You Doin? :
Fun fact, they are mostly harvested here in the Olympics for floral arrangements but you have to be granted one of the yearly permits to be able to harvest it for commercial sales. Least that's what the documentary taught me! 😂

theyre so good, if you blend them and Oregon grapes into a jam together its so good! you could even use just salal but I like the tartness Oregon grapes add.

it does not like to grow under cedar trees. it will grow under cedar. but if you go to an area that has a lot of cedar . you will notice the difference compared to growing under fir.
