Nota personale

Female flower.
It is native across much of the United States (mostly in the east) and south-central Canada, and can be found as far south as Guatemala; introduced to Poland at the end of XVIII century.
Possible invasive plant.
Ornamental plant.
Edible plant - the sap contains a reasonable quantity of sugar and can be used as a refreshing drink or be concentrated into a syrup; inner bark raw or cooked, can be dried, ground into a powder and then used as a thickener in soups, or be added to cereal flours when making bread, cakes; seeds after removal of wings boiled then eaten hot.
Herbal plant - a tea made from the inner bark is used as an emetic.
Usable plant - the heartwood is a creamy white, and is not clearly demarcated from the thick band of sapwood; the wood is soft, weak, light, close grained.
