The taste of fruit has become so terrible here in America, that it's become a full time job, just to find something that you CAN put into your mouth, that isn't Bitter, Bitter, Bitter, or has NO flavor at all! I love your information and references, because I'm getting together a list of the trees I'm going to plant, as soon as my land it ready. We start June 1st! (lots of rain this year) It's just wonderful to find someone that thinks the way you do, and it makes me so much more confident in my choices. I have chosen trees common to my state, (Heirloom) and will want to take a look at your references too, sounds great to me. I'm an Heirloom grower, and it does my heart good, to see others who consider what's really out there, and available to those of us, who still like to TASTE our food. Thank you! George,

As to taste you can be a city bushman and collect from the trees overhanging fences or edible weeds such as chickweed for salads. In fact my ultra urban lifestyle is much healthier and sustainable than the one I had as a founding director of the Permaculture Institute in the late '70's. Fond regards, Cymon Fjell Hello,

We got suckered into letting the corporations feed us and ended up eating waste products and factory farmed produce to maximize their profits and keep food affordable for the masses. I grew up with hobby-hippy parents on 5 acres but since left I that garden of eden 15 years ago I've been a city living turd consumer. I've finally got my priorities straight and a great job in the country and I'm off in a few days. The fresh food there is awesome, the land is affordable and the traffic is non existent. O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! Right on!
