Karrazkiloa (Rhamnus alaternus). Argazkia: Jakoba Errekondo

Carrozillo or snail (Rhamnus alaternus) is not abundant. It is berozale and lives very well among other trees and shrubs that share this same hobby, such as the Madroño (Arbutus unedo), the cork oak (Quercus suber), the bull (Laurus nobilis), the motherhood (Quercus pyrenaica) and others that do not have “resurrection” at the end of the name, such as the white heather or lettuce (Hojalata). He likes temperate wet regions. In the paradise of the coast of the Basque Country you enjoy, but not everywhere, the lands you like are dry, with little nitrogen and high pH; it is not in vain that the inhabited areas of the carrozillo are art lands.

It is a dioecious species, that is, some plants are females and other males. I already said it the other day, when the pollen of the male fertilizes the female, if you eat the fruit that the latter gives, the casings will empty in the blink of an eye. In case of massive ingestion, the risk of bleeding or bleeding in the cavity is very high. The water of its new branches and leaves is taken to shed blood; the Catalan botanist Pío Font i Quer explains it perfectly in the book Medicinal Plants, The Revamped Dioscorides (1961): to put a scratch in the water, when it boils, to say a godfather and to remove it from the fire. They say that you have to drink it in the morning, fasting, not mixing sugar and not doing nonsense or nonsense, inside the rau! Today, thanks to the moon, as we do not know godfathers, what will we have to say? What verse or song does the stature or likeness of that old father have? Whoever knows that, let him.

With its branches, clubs are made. The skin is used to dye yellow wool. The wood, compact, hard and equal, is good to work around. The ethnographer and honorary scholar Alavés Gerardo López de Guereñu, in his work Popular Botany Alavesa (1975), smells of this wood and is an excellent fuel for heating bread ovens. Like his cousin Rhamnus, that of the Zumalicar franga, he's able to make mangoes. On this cousin, the Navarro biologist Luis Miguel García Bona brings us a nice curiosity in Navarre, medicinal plants (1981): his light coal was used to make gunpowder.

Bambúd, tablado

Last February. Goodbye to the winter and welcome to the municipal police, to the grass or to the grass. It's nice to be blackened, but for the next time I'll leave that path. I still want to flush the wood...

From species to flower

From wood emerges more than a splinter, among other expressions... But the proverb says: "Splinter for wood." Return of the muela: from seed to plant, seed to plant. Many of them have been Gotzon Garate. Ready for enjoyment?

What wood, what a splinter. What a trunk, what a... [+]

Galileos, round cuba

Tough, resilient timber, which will have to withstand a great deal of tension and strength, will be thrown into these darkness, as I said the other day. If you accidentally cut a tree off to get a wood of this kind, the waning moon of February will close with a month, and those... [+]

Avellano or avellano

Winter is usually the time of wood and wood. Most of those used in our culture are cut in winter. Resistant, resistant, tensile and forceful woods will be thrown into these moons. Demolition work for logs that give rise to soft and flexible hardwood or woods will be high season... [+]

The Age of Clogs

Weather conditions are over; water, water and water. What to talk about in the elevator or at the bus stop? There's no news, and you have to start throwing away something else to tell stories. The advantage of being said to have been bad for some time, you have to think ... The... [+]

Wood and wood stereo
In the fire favor kitchen, it's time to value the flame of cooking and the heat of food. Fire. Firewood is recovering a fame that it should never have lost and has a promising future. Not for cooking, but I think we'll see more and more in building heating.

Arbolari bezalaxe zuhaitzari agaia jarri eta adarrei goian eustea kultura da. Jakintza handia, kultura. Bestela adarrak hautsita eta desitxuratuta, zarrapastroso litzatekeen landare tzarrari lagundu, eta era berean etorkizun berri bat eman. Kultura: landu. Hazten lagundu... [+]

Zakurraren biolina

Umeak ginela, txakurren bat azkura baretzeko edo arkakusoak haizea hartzera bidaltzeko hankarekin hazka egiten ikusten bagenuen, “gitarra jotzen” ari zela esaten genuen. Txakurrek, ez dakit, baina zakurren batek joko du biolina. Biolin-jotzaile zakurren bat izango... [+]

Zauritu

Zuhaitzak, arbolak eta zuhaixkak muskildu, inausi eta lepatu egiten ditugu. Batzuetan muskil edo kimu ttikiak, eta besteetan adartxoak, adar politak, baita adar tzar asarreak ere. Berari kendu, eta bueltan zauria utziz.

Forma jakin bat emateko mozten ditugu landareak: itzala... [+]

Gaztaiak ketzen

Aurrekoa amaitu nuen erari helduko diot: gosea piztuz. Gazta aipatu nuen. Alnus glutinosa, haltzaren ezpalez ketzen direla nioen, baita haltzak bihotzaz gain odola ere baduela. Kolore gorri asko eransten dio gaztari, gorri hila, distiragabe hila. Ketzen azkarrena da haltza,... [+]

Bihotz bero

Odol giroa nagusi izaten da neguero. Guraize, aihotz, zerrote, motozerra... inauskaiak zorrotz! Epaia emateko prest epaikiak. Epaile kaskarin gehiegi. Buru beroko kasko asko. Bihozgabe bihozgabetzaileak.

Inausten diren zuhaitzek bihotza non duten ez dakigu. Sentitzen dutelako... [+]
