Gardengirl Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I've tried and tried to remember what 'cade' is in English - can someone help please. My memory is really ropey and my big dictionaries are in France. Google translate tells me its......... cade! I know it's wood, but can't get further than evergreen. Thanks.

Loiseau Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Does this help, GG? I googled "what is cade" and up popped the following:Cade is a species of juniper grown in rocky areas across the Mediterranean. Also known as juniper tar, cade oil has antiseptic, antimicrobial and fungicidal properties and has been used since the nineteenth century to sooth skin and scalp complaints such as psoriasis, dandruff and eczema.Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Also don't forget that a young animal abandonned by it's mother and then reared by hand is referred to as cade. The term is normally used for lambs but can equally be used for calves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardengirl Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Gosh, you're both quick off the mark! Thanks a lot for that - it's usually everyday words and names I'm forgetting, but come out with some good descriptions of the word instead!I didn't even think of googling the question, Loiseau - shows my brain isn't with it at all today. I didn't know the word was used for young hand-reared, Benjamin. My new word for the day.Thanks both of you, very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
