Where to find bloodroot? - 07/23/13 08:09 PM
I have never dug it before but sure I prolly have walked thru it. Any certain trees to look around or certain hillsides. Top of ridges or bottoms?

You find bloodroot in hill country, not river bottoms. It don't like to grow anyplace water stands for any length of time . Won't be long now and most blooproot in my part of the state will be dead. It is hanging on longer this year than normal , because of the wet weather.

Don I live in Brown county I'm sure you know where that is. I'm sure there is some around here but I don't know anyone that digs it. Thanks for the info
look for shady hillsides that have a lot of larger trees. Larger trees equal shade and lots of dropping leaves in the fall...they like the soil very light and not packed which the decomposing leaves gives them. Don is right though they will be gone before too long so get to it....good luck
