I dyed a cat with poke juice and branded several calves right in the face white mark, Potatoes make very nice poke juice brands even on the calf shed( for which I got a two ruler spanking.)
I recall always being in trouble for playing with the poke berries and staining my hands and clothes. I have a stand of poke that I maintain in memory of a very dear neighbor. He always came and picked poke to take to his 'city' sister. He passed four years ago and I still miss him.

Jeannie T, Does/can your poke grow to a stalk 8" across and 6 to 8 ft. high? I have never eaten it, my dad started to grow it in his old neighborhood (Detroit) years and years ago from seed he brought from down south somewhere and he taught a lot of the black folks how to eat it. I hate that stuff growing on the fenceline here and kill it as soon as I see it growing, it can take over a yard quickly and is planted by the birds.

And don't believe him. No such thing. A snake would not live very long of if gave a warning bite. Sure harmless one don't kill but yes they can and do bite/strike. And don't believe the wivestale that babies are not poison, there is just not enough venom to create big problem. Some area snake of the same genesis are more and less poisonious.Missouri timber rattlers seem to be losing strength. But don't rely on it, wear the boots and be cautious. We have a hill not too far away where for reasons unknown they congregate. And depending on the person it may be hamburger hill or snakehill both the same less accessible place. AND it is not good mushroom country. I think it once may have been but eroded away. I do know the horses sure don't like the area. Bud.
