that looked like queen ann's lace in my neck of the woods hemlock is a
conifer I used to have one out side of my house had short needles and
a light line down the middle of each a pretty tree dropped a lot of
needles though

I love eating cat briar.

So, what part, and how do you fix it? I've got a couple acres of the stuff.

Mostly in the spring when the tender new growth emerges. It has a
nice peppery taste. Just pince off the new growth and eat it. You
can wander through the woods around here in the spring and have a real
good feast on cat briar (Smilax bona-nox) salad. There are bigger
species in East Texas and they have the same value.
