My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Edible tree/shrub leaves in the north?

9 years ago

I've often wondered if there are edible tree or shrub leaves here in NE Iowa. Many wooded wild areas, but would also entertain domesticated non-natives that could grow here. Want them to be tasty for cooking or flavoring, not for medicinal purposes. Thanks.

    Young Tilia and Crataegus leaves can be used in salads.
