anise or fennel?
My neighbor recently dug up a huge bush from his yard- it is about 5 feet
tall - and gave it to me in a bucket (wastepaper basket). He tells me that it is 'anise' (and it has a faint licorice-like flavor to it) but according to my gardening book, fennel grows 5 feet high, and anise grows only 1 foot high. How can I tell which plant I've got? I am perhaps confused or misled by the passages in my gardening book that say that anise cilanthro fennel licorice are all members of the parsley family. Will they cross-breed if I raise them next to each other? Anise is an annual, but fennel is a perennial. If they are crossed, is there any way of knowing in advance whether the result is a perennial? |
