@MariposaMaid! That's a lot of plants to consider. Remember though, that a plant can have medicinal qualities but not be edible. From your list, Gelsemium, privet, and mistletoe are not edible, and are, in fact, toxic. Wild yam is a die back perennial, and so is taro in our zone (though in the tropics would be evergreen). Club moss is technically edible, though it's regarded more as a famine food. Partridge berry is said to be very tart and often bitter. I wouldn't say it's worth cultivating in a berry garden, but certainly a decent forage. Cranberry and eucalyptus are certainly edible. I've added cranberry to the list, though I'm a bit skeptical about eucalyptus being evergreen outside in the Mid Atlantic. Anyone have any experience with eucalyptus? Please include the species and cultivar where relevant.
