Hi, I am vegetarian since 2009 and I never felt so good in my life, peace of mind and healty body.

Sometimes I eat some eggs or some cow milk, but just not too much, and I am trying with almond milk (from our trees) or other alternatives.

I grow food forests and believe that is tecnically possible to feed yourself almost just from the trees (chachafruto, moringa, baobab, quebrachillo, macadamia and other nuts play a very important role)

Cheers

Growing fruit trees from seed is indeed a long term investment since it will be a minimum of 7 years from sprouting to first fruiting and more likely 10 years to a decent harvest quantity.




Hi, I am new to this forum.

I just wanted to point out that some fruit tree species are really fast to set fruit... I grow 90 species or so, some of them could fruit in 1 and 1/2 year (arazá do campo, psidium guineense) or 2 years like the tamarillo (solanum betaceum)... some guavas (psidium guajava) does it at 2 years old too, and psidium cattleianum, and some eugenias... I grow mainly myrtaceae.

Hi, I am new to the forum, I hope to have a nice time and to meet interesting growers out there. By the way, I have these seeds for sale now:

This small and hardy bush likes shade and bears small cherry like (acid and sweet) fruits, it could be in full sun, semi shaded spot or full shade: it will fruit anywhere. Frost resistance: -6ºC

The sweetness of all of them is 12 º Brix or so, well balanced acidity/sweetness

(* e. lutescens or an hybrid, fruit is sweet and acid (more pear shaped than the other), from one planted tree at my backyard, growing habit: bush, 9 years old, 3m tall), max order 20 seeds.
