  • Let's chop the top off a big mango tree, then go for a tour!
    The Great South Florida Food Forest Project is full of life and now that I'm back in the states, I'm adding and expanding when I get a chance to visit. We were there over New Year's and got some great new plants in the ground, including bananas, cocoa, soursop and a Julie mango. Plus, some much-needed pruning and clean up was completed. Today I work in the food forest and talk about what's happening, plus we see what the entire system looks like.

    When I was growing up in Miami my grandparents had a huge Cashew fruit tree, it produced so much that my grandfather would sell it to one of the local stores. It does very well in zone 10B, even in our sandy soil.

    I do the exact same thing in collecting other people's yard waste and I get a lot of volunteers in my yard. I just noticed some Monstera deliciosa (I think) and was ready to cut them down as biomass (I don't care for ornamentals), until I heard you say they grow an edible fruit. Will have to look into that, thanks DtG!!

    Why not invest in a woodchipper? I love chop and drop, but I wish I could turn it all into shredded mulch so it breaks down faster and covers more evenly. Inspiring me to majorly prune my mango tree
