Everything tastes like black cherries!!!

The last activity we did today was looking at trees and learning about them in The Erie National Wildlife Refuge. We saw black cherry trees, elm, hemlocks, yellow birch, maple trees, and pines. We also tasted trees and learned how to tell the age of a tree. The last thing we learned was how you would grow trees taller and what makes them be tall or short. In conclusion, everything in the forest tasted like black cherries.

will the growing tricks you learned for trees work on people?

What exactly did you taste on the trees? Bark? Leaves?

Did your dinner taste like black cherries?

we tried all kinds of things from the trees. We licked the inner bark of a yellow birtch, chewed on witch hazel and black cherry twigs, and ate hemlock needles. The dinner did not taste like black cherries although everything is suppose to taste that way for up to 12 hours after chewing on the cherry twigs

You ate hemlock needles? I thought those were poisonous, I guess mistakenly. Isn't hemlock what Socrates was forced to eat?
