here is our second plant cranesbill or wild geranium this plant grows in the same area as bloodroot it grows to about 16 inches or so high and early in the spring it has a purple flower. a pic of the root cranesbill is currently used as a treatment in chrones {sp?} disease. cranesbill is easy to harvest...i use a long handled roundpoint shovel because the root is not very far underground at all.........and it grows in patches......it's not unusual to dig 2-3 pounds from one patch. all you need to wash it is a plastic tote and some cool water.......don't use hot water...you'll mush the plant. dry on old window screens or one can use a dehydrator. store in paper sacks. it's never a good idea to store any dried roots or herbs in plastic..........plastic can hold moisture.

have you ever tryed a box fan and celulose furnace filters to dry roots? u do it with jerky. do you think it would work because there is no heat?

a box fan would certainly help to move air........but i would hesitate from using those filters.......you may run the chance of getting some foreign materials from those filters stuck in the roots.

Ok, gotta ask. Are you sure that's Cranesbill? Around here it's called Puccoon Root, although I think that's a local name because the pictures I get when I type that in aren't the right plant. However, when I type in Cranesbill or wild Geranium, I do fine a plant similar in appearance to the one above, but not the same plant.

yepper.....100% positive .
it would have been a better pic if i could have gotten them in the flowering stage which happens in early to mid may.

I think yellow puccoon root might actually be Goldenseal. The root in the picture does look identical to what we were selling.
