A hand holding several ripe mulberries in front of a cardinal flower

Eating a handful of mulberries any time you want is as easy as planting an everbearing mulberry. Continuous fruit from June-late September here in NJ, probably our favorite fruit tree to grow 😋 #mulberries #foodforest #treecrops

More trees and shrubs! This time a heartnut tree, an american persimmon, 3 varieties of serviceberry, and a handful of pawpaw seeds! Now I just have to figure out where to plant them… #permaculture #treecrops #westernslope #urbanag

Agroforestry is long game thinking. Nut trees won’t pay year one, but they’ll build wealth for generations. Annual crops? Here and gone. Play the game nature plays—slow, steady, and stacking abundance. #treecrops

🌳 Touch wood... #TreeCrops are a vital lever for meeting the #SDGs.
They have huge as-yet untapped potential to conserve #biodiversity, boost socioeconomic development & mitigate #climatechange.

A young, green cocoa pod hanging from a horizontal branch. It has squiggly brown lines from a boring/mining pest across the surface, and a brightly coloured true bug nymph is walking down the pod. Near the pod there is a creamy-white cocoa flower about 1cm across. The background has dappled sunlight.
