Hi Helen

I think Nic Seal (who wrote the book) does mention that you can eat the shoots as a salad crop. I know he was also interested in using the woodier parts as some form of laminate flooring, but cant remember if that’s in the book or not. Great idea to use it to make tea! Thanks for the comment. x
