Using trees in the agroforest/food forest we are developing
So far we have added the following trees to the 1000m2 area.
3 Acacia karroos (Sweet thorn). These trees are nitrogen fixers and their flowers attract bees. They wll also form part of the windbreak.
Acacia karroo
2 Macadamia nut trees simply for their delicious nuts and as a windbreak. Not sure if they offer any other specific benefits to a foodforest
3 Tarchonanthus camphoratus (Camphor bush). These we hope will deter pests with their strong scent. See
