minus-squareEcho Dot@feddit.uklinkfedilinkarrow-up21·2 年前Also ginger. And technically wormwood too, although that’s more you drinking water that is soaked into wood.
minus-squaredie444die@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up23·2 年前Ginger is a root, maybe you’re thinking of something else?
minus-squarecredit crazy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·2 年前Eh what is a root if not wood that is covered in dirt
minus-squaredie444die@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up18·2 年前So is a potato wood? A carrot? Ginger is not a tree. It’s a flowering plant.
minus-squareEcho Dot@feddit.uklinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 年前A potato is not a flowering plant it’s a tuba, such as an onion. Totally different thing entirely to a bit of wood attached to a tree.

minus-squaredie444die@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·2 年前And potato is a tuber but an onion is not. Both are flowering plants. So is ginger. Ginger has nothing to do with ‘a bit of wood attached to a tree’ which is exactly my point.
minus-squareAnIndefiniteArticle@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up7·2 年前Potato plants absolutely have flowers. Have you ever grown one? Be careful with the potato flowers and fruits. They are poisonous nightshade.

minus-squareA Phlaming Phoenix@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up11·2 年前I stand corrected on that one. I assumed it was sumac bark, and you know what they say about assumption. It makes an ass out of u and mption.
minus-squareFermion@feddit.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 年前The bit about powdered sumac (bark?) being a powerful dye for marble is pretty interesting. I wish there was an example photo.

No, ginger is not a tree.

Is it woody?
It is not.
