a mixture of tutu-juice cooked with rehia (a carageen)
Oh! But I thought tutu was poisonous?

No honey bees in Aotearoa then – ti-sugar and the sugar in treated kelp-stipes were almost all there was…there were 2 other known sources – anybody else know ’em?
Raupo pollen? Honeydew?

We (Kai Tahu) used to harvest the roots of ti-rakau, bake them in especial ovens (umu-ti) and extract the rich sweet sugars they contained…after digging up the roots, you then replanted the crown/s. Ti-rakau then continued on its merry way, colonising all suitable land-
That's amazing. I knew the roots were harvested, and I always thought that meant killing the tree. But they are clearly unkillable!
