You give some great, detailed information here Bob. In the late 1800's, my area didn't have MD's (doctors) but they had "Root Doctors".
I lived not far from one of the old homesteads of Dr. Seaborn Hodges. I didn't know it at the time that he had been a
Root Doctor, but when doing landscaping at the present day house, there was an unusual tree, which I later found out
Was a "Tung Tree" (where Tung oil comes from)
I saw another such tree much closer to my home in an area that had been a Black Community after the war, so I assume he had shared his knowledge with someone else, and the tree as well.
I SWEAR I have seen that plant growing wild down there. Great post @thebigsweed.
