Do not plant multiflora. Use what is already a thicket.

Part used

Frost-softened hips. Strain the inner hairs.

Gather

After the first hard frost. Fencerows of multiflora are everywhere — invasive, useful.

Tea

1 Tbsp crushed hips, simmer 10 minutes, strain through cloth. The hairs itch the gut if you skip the cloth.

Other

Jam, same straining rule.
