Height 1.5 m 3 ft

Wild Licorice is an erect perennial that grows to 1 - 1.5 m tall, from deep, woody rhizomes that has a licorice flavour. The leaves are alternate, each with 7 - 21 oblong leaflets. The flowers are yellowish-white, in spike-like clusters from the leaf axils. Fruit consists of oblong brown pods that are covered with long hooked prickles.

The sweet-tasting roots of wild licorice were once important medicine to the Great Plains Native Americans, for many conditions including diarrhea, stomach ache, toothache, coughs, sore throat, fever, and the flu. The rhizome was traditionally roasted in coals, pounded to remove tough fibers from the center of the rhizome, and eaten. The rhizome can be eaten raw or roasted - when slow roasted they are said to taste like sweet potatoes.  The compound responsible for the sweetness is glycyrrhizin, a substance 50 times as sweet as sugar. Wild licorice is also used as a flavouring for root beer and chewing tobacco, but it is possible that its market share could be increased with the proper promotion as a natural sugar substitute whereas, most 'licorice' candy in North America is flavoured with anise oil, wild licorice has a unique market potential as a natural sugar substitute, due to growing concerns over side effects of other synthetic sugar substitutes. Any product is unsafe if consumed in excess- licorice over-consumption is dangerous for people with high blood pressure or liver disease. Wild licorice has also been tested as a feed additive for cattle and hogs.

Each attractive bright yellowish to white flower clusters are pollinated by insects during the late summer. The flower is replaced by an oblong green pod, about ½ in long, covered in hooked bristles and containing a few seeds. As the pods ripen the color changes to coppery brown, then dark brown. The pods remain through the winter; harvest when dried and store for future planting. Note: hard seeds need to be scarified or soaked in cold water overnight to break the seed coat prior to planting.

Style: w/ Rope Design, Size: Pack of 2
I recently purchased the Camco Wheel Chock with Rope (Pack of 2) for my trailer, and I couldn’t be happier! These chocks are sturdy and durable, providing excellent stability to keep my trailer securely in place, even on uneven surfaces. The attached rope makes removal so easy—no more struggling to pull them out from under the tires! They’re lightweight yet strong, and the pack of two gives me peace of mind knowing both wheels are well secured. A simple, reliable product that every RV or trailer owner should have. Highly recommend!

Great rv wheel chocks
Style: w/ Rope Design, Size: Pack of 2
After ten years, I finally decided to replace one pair of these. They have taken abuse through eleven camping seasons with my rv and I gave them to the new owner when selling my old trailer. I like these because I can use my orange plastic deadblow hammer to get them tight to the wheels. They are pointy so they really get under the tire and stay put. The rope handle makes them easy to pick up and move to the storage bay.
