COTTONWOOD BUD — JEWEL OF SPRING

Precious cottonwood tree buds, with their signature scent of buttery riverside resins, are a rare treasure of early spring.

Gathering buds requires patience, gratitude, reverence, and many hours (sometimes days) of tromping around the chilly woods in hopes of encountering the perfect confluence of cottonwood buds — ripe but not overly so, gifted freely by the trees (usually a post-storm windfall), and dripping with sticky, ruby-hued resin.

The supreme clarifying & calming capacity of cottonwood buds is well worth the yearly hero's journey. Cottonwood is a beloved sunburn remedy, and I find the scent alone to be a healing experience.
