Hi, thank you very much for the reply. They are not the only nitrogen fixers that I want to use, also they attract me more for the high protein, low perishable fruits. I'd like to use, just for fun, different design combination, some high carbs tree like chestnut, moringa and breadnut, some high fat tree like macadamia, almond and hazelnut, but it seems to me that growing high protein beans on trees has limited options compared to the others, so I'm searching for some tree/shrub that can live for a lot of years, that give me high protein edible and non perishable seeds, and that can fix nitrogen as a bonus. It is just a little design obsession that I have in the last few weeks 😛 we have carbs trees options, fat trees options, but where are protein trees options?
Yes I can try with grafting and give an update, but I'm not a very practical person, so it could take me a lot of time to make these experiments and I'm asking just in case some people more informed or more practical than me could already have the answer.
Anyway, thanks for the explanation on grafting and lifespan, I'm asking because I see here some people grafting solanaceae like omatoes and eggplants on more resistant rootstock in order to increase their lifespan, so I have assumed that selecting a high lifespan rootstock could dictate the lifespan of the grafted plant.
