Harvesting Nettles If you are going to harvest your own nettles, they get the name "stinging" because the leaves and stem of the plant, which can reach 2-4 feet high, are covered in little hairs that sting the skin when touched. You need to wear gloves when harvesting the leaves, and digging the roots. Do not harvest nettle leaves after the plant has flowered, they become grainy and can upset the urinary tract.
