Phytolacca americana farming
To cultivate Phytolacca americana (American pokeweed), sow seeds harvested from ripe, black fruits in the fall or early spring in a well-draining soil mix, as germination rates are higher from mature seeds. You can also use root cuttings in the spring.
The plant is hardy, tolerates poor soil, and requires minimal care beyond pruning to control its size and shape, typically done in late winter or early spring before new growth.
All parts of the plant are toxic, so handle with care and wear gloves to prevent skin irritation.
