Current interest in forest or woodland garden designs reflects an awareness that permanent mixed plantings are inherently more sustainable than annual monocultures. They safeguard and enrich soil ecosystems, enable plants to form cooperative combinations, make use of layers above and below the soil, and they create benign microclimates which soften winds and recycle the rain. The challenge is productivity: how can yields of useful foods and other useful materials be maximised? The latest book from Plants For A Future is a resource for discovering some of the answers.

I would be so gratefull so that I can include the information as references in my thesis. c Crataegus azarolus. The azarole grows about 20ft tall and is sometimes cultivated in the Mediterranean for its fruit. This is about an inch in diameter and is said to have a pleasant acid taste though this is one of the species that I have yet to try. In warm temperate areas the fruit develops more fruit sugars and has a fragrant sugary pulp with a slightly acid flavour. In cooler zones, however, the fruit does not develop so well and is best cooked or used in preserves. For maximum nutritional value, eat the fruit raw if you like it. It is also possible to dry fruit for later use, or to cook it for use in preserves etc. Great Water Plantain, ZE-XIE, European water plantain, American water plantain, Northern water plan As mentioned earlier, different species range in size from small shrubs about 7ft tall to fairly large trees 30ft or more in height. Most species develop thorns on their branches and in some species these are 2 inches or more long. These thorns shouldn't cause any real problem with harvesting the fruits, though some species do form a mass of thin branches that makes it difficult to get your hands into them. Fortunately, most of the fruit is carried on the outside of the plant.Edible Shrubs provides detailed information, attractively presented, on over 70 shrub species. They have been selected to provide a mix of different plant sizes and growing conditions. Most provide delicious and nutritious fruit, but many also have edible leaves, seeds, flowers, stems or roots, or they yield edible or useful oil. The information here is based on practical experience and observation, and from a wide range of reputable sources. For each entry the descriptive text is augmented by summary information panels covering various attributes such as natural habitat, preferred soils, nutritional value, and potential uses within woodland garden designs.

If you go to a traditional herbalist you will be able to buy the fruits at a much more reasonable price - I use them and pay a fraction of the price that some commercial companies are charging. There are over 20,000 species of edible plants in the world yet fewer than 20 species now provide 90% of our food. However, there are hundreds of less well-known edible plants from all around the world that are both delicious and nutritious.

Goji is very easy to grow. Simply get some berries from a health food store, an asian market or online and soak them for a few hours in warm water. Scrape out the seeds and rinse them off. They should sprout within a few days (3-5). Plant them in well draining soil for an easy plant to grow. Crataegus durobrivensis. This species is not known in a truly wild situation and is possibly a hybrid, so don't expect it to come true from seed. It grows about 15ft tall and the fruit, which is about 3/4 inch in diameter, is sweet and fairly juicy when fully ripe with a hint of apple in its flavour. There always seemed to be more work to do at the land than there were people and time to get it done. Therefore we actively welcomed people who wanted to come and stay for a while with us as volunteers…. more Land Club

I can find no reference to this being toxic, Bown,( Ref 238 above) who never seems to be wrong about anything, specifically mentions this variant as edible and medicinal. But excess can be laxative and see the note above on toxicity if grown on nitrate rich soil. I have always found, for instance, that raspberries have gone mushy after freezing them and I feel the same will happen with Lycium. As indicated above under "Plant Description" this plant has both male and female parts on the same tree, it is hermaphrodite.
