Korean Stone Nut Tree is an attractive tree with plenty of dark-green needles and large, delicious nuts most commonly gathered in Korea and eastern Russia. Korean Stone Pine Nuts have a rich, delicious taste while being full of nutrients. Our permaculture homestead is in a cold zone 4, with temps that occasionally dip as low as -27 F in the winter. While we won’t be harvesting mangoes anytime soon, there are still plenty of options for temperature climate permaculture food forest plantings. Chestnut trees (Castanea spp.) can live for several hundred years, with some specimens reaching over 1,000 years old. They can grow up to 100 feet tall and have a broad, spreading canopy. Their wood is a good source of lumber, which is also high in tannin and has been used for centuries in the tanning of leather.
Alongside apples, pears, and raspberries, you’ll find mention of Cornelian cherries, lingonberries, beach plums, and spicebush —all manner of food forest crops to keep things interesting in the kitchen year-round. Pine nut trees (Pinus spp.) have long, thin needles that grow in clusters of two to five. These trees produce large, woody cones that can be up to 10 inches long.

They can grow quite large, so you may want to consider giving them ample space in your garden when planting. Markets in northern Scandinavia sell cloudberries regularly. They’re commonly used in tarts, preserves, and other desserts. Cloudberries are yellow or amber-colored fruits that are considered a wild plant in North America. It’s hard to find the bushes for sale in the United States, but seeds are for sale.If you live in a region where you can grow the American Paw Paw, make sure you add one. The fruits have a delicious, creamy fruit, growing on a tree with tropical-looking leaves and gorgeous blooms. You’ll find that the fruits have a custard-like texture, making them perfect for desserts. The American hazelnut (Corylus americana) is native to eastern North America where it is more cold hardy than the European hazelnut. It produces smaller nuts than the European variety and was used by Native Americans as a food source. The Turkish Hazelnut (Corylus colurna)
The American chestnut (Castanea dentata) once dominated eastern US forests but is now nearly extinct due to chestnut blight fungus. It produced very large, sweet nuts. Efforts are underway to restore the species. The European Chestnut (Castanea sativa) Homegrown cherry trees give you delicious fruit without too much work. Cherries are broken down into two categories: sweet cherries and sour cherries. This is the book for growers looking to expand their range of perennial and tree crops. Levy and Serrano have not wasted too much space on general cultivation tips.

Lingonberries grow densely and can be harvested by raking. Bushes produce large amounts of small, deep ruby-colored, tart berries. They’re similar to cranberries in taste and uses. If you grow large quantities, not only can you make jams and condiments, you can also freeze them for use later.
The Pembina plum is a hardy freestone plum that bakes well in desserts.Keep it away from Nanking cherries, sand cherries, and double flowering plums, as they will cross-pollinate and you won’t end up with the fruit you thought you would.La Crescent is a lovely yellow freestone plum that tastes like an apricot. Most fruit trees require at least two of the same trees to pollinate and bear fruit.If you live in an urban centre and your neighbour has an apple tree, that could count as your second apple tree as long as it blooms around the same time.
Many apricot trees are hardy to zone 3, but they’re still not common here in Central Vermont. I asked a nurseryman why, and he told me they don’t do well here because of our wet summers. Apricots are susceptible to fungal diseases, and they do better with less humidity and heavy rains. Nonetheless, we’re trying a few out. Watch out for volunteer mulberry trees. When birds drop the seeds, mulberry trees pop up everywhere. Mulberry trees aren’t small trees; some varieties can reach up to 50 feet tall. So, don’t plant the tree near a sidewalk, other trees, or your house. Sour cherries are used for cooking, in particular, pies and preserves.

Cloudberries ( Rubus chamaemorus) While many varieties of peaches are only hardy to zone 5, there are several zone 4 hardy peaches that have recently come on the market.They produce edible nuts, which are a popular food crop used in a variety of culinary applications, including roasting, baking, and as a flour substitute. Pecans (Carya illinoinensis) are native to the United States and thrive in a variety of soil types, including wet soil. They require plenty of water and a significant amount of space to grow. During the fall, do not irrigate your walnut trees. When the terminal vegetative bud has grown, another irrigation can be attempted if there has been no rain. Nitrogen fertilizer applications should be stopped on the first of September to prevent new growth. Watering should be stopped in mid-September until the terminal vegetative buds appear. If there has not been any rain during the last few weeks of September or October, another irrigation may be required if the terminal vegetative bud has not yet developed. Plant your seeds in a timely manner and apply fertilizer to increase their growth. When your walnuts are young, you can fertilize them with nitrogen-only fertilizer in the early spring and late summer to keep them from fruiting. When nitrogen is depleted in excess, it promotes plant foliage growth while also reducing flowering. You should refrain from watering your walnut tree in the fall. Can Walnuts Grow In Winter?
