Use in the 20th century

I heard a personal account saying that this was an emergency food source in the south near Kristiansand during WW2 - or at the minimum was thought of as one were things to get worse, as the source was young at the time and is not entirely reliable. It's plausible that this was due to the individual destitution of the source (daughter of an unremarried widow in the 40s), so does anyone have any documentary evidence one way or another as to its use by rural populations during the war?

At a minimum I can confirm that the nutritional content of bark was a concern regarding semi-cultivated trees in the south of Norway, and that a specific type of tree (possibly an elm, from personal observation of the groves) was preferred (by at least one family). But I haven't any sources for this - will search myself once my Norwegian is better, since I can't find anything obvious in English.

Will confirm these facts shortly, and submit am addendum should any be incomplete or inaccurate. 98.109.131.143 (talk) 05:02, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
