A farmer I know uses his loquat trees as support for his vegetables to climb. Check this picture; the blooms are from his vegetable ?

I hope the loquat tree is strong enough. The seminal Indians used to plant their pumpkins next to Oak trees for them to grow up. And I know people that grow passion vines up trees and mulberry trees That’s a one of the practices in food forests grow your vines up your trees. Dragon fruit is good for that too.

Im sure it is. The owners are vietnamese. They have been planting veggies climbing loquats for decades. They hve around a dozen loquat trees with a couple veggies growing under each. Very creative

@Zoohome that’s a great trick. I wasn’t shure strong the were. I have a couple I will have to plant vines on them too. They fruit early so they would be perfect

@Donto101 yes it is. It made me think how we do and how thrifty they are. Why go and get a trellis, or spend time and money with a climbing structure wile we can just use trees already on our yard.
Im sure he has other nifty routines. ?

Doesn't the tree mind?

I guess not, since he has been using it for years

Picking the ones on top is gonna be a b**ch. I am not a fan of ladders.

What's a bench got to do with fruit picking?

I used to use some of my trees as support for my loofas, that kind of looks like what that is, but almost all of the squash /gourds have similar leaves and fruit.

They do look like loofas. We grew loofas back in Brazil. I should plant them again

What kinds of vegetables is he growing ?

Some sort of vietnamese squash. He has said the name twice, but i can't never remember. You can see it hanging low, its huge.
Next time i go to his farm I'll ask for one.

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
