I've heard people say that... I grew up eating fruits from my backyard, we had almond tree, grapes... we grew corn, we have a coconut tree, bananas and we ate them all. I do wonder now that everyone is telling me something could be wrong... Anyone willing to send them to an independent lab?

I'm glad to see I'm not the only person concerned about all the food available thats free and going to waste. There is also mega tons of food around thats growing wild, right under everyones noses. Enough so that there is no reason of anyone in the US to be going hungry. Start watching some of my Videos, I'll be covering a lot of these items. Growing in yards, alleys, vacant lots.

What a great idea! This would be not only beneficial for the trees, but also for those folks who are a bit wary to do any pruning at all. As a group, we all learn from each other. Thanks, 2painfull !

Every season I ... ( 4 months ago by crisology)

Every season I plant a new species of fruit tree in my yard. This month I have breakfast from 2 mature strawberry guava trees each day. The fruit from my yard is healthier than any food I can get at a grocery store.
In virtually all areas of the U.S. except for south florida, south texas & desert areas, you can grow pawpaw, puree it & freeze it, it is very nutritious/delicious. Fruit should not even be sold but shared among neighbors, communities. There is no reason to import fruit.

One natural product with such potential is the pomegranate (Punica granatum), with hypoglycemic activity noted from its flowers, seeds, and juice.. Pomegranate fractions and their active compounds hold potential and are worthy of further investigations as safe and effective medical treatments for diabetes mellitus and its pathological consequences.
