A hazelnut tree produces enough calories for an adult male to live an entire month with a 2,500 Cal/day diet.If you plant 4 trees, that covers 1/3 of your annual calories.A hazelnut tree costs 10 bucks, matures in ~4 years and will continue putting out nuts for ~40 years.ONE POUND of nuts (in shell) costs ~8 dollars. If you have land and you aren't planting perennial fruit/nut trees, shrubs and/or vines, you are actually dumb.
>>24313368You’re going to turn into a hazelnut
>>24313368Pretty sure you'd have nutrient imbalance if you lived exclusively on hazelnuts. We aren't squirrels.
Every time i go near mine i get attacked by birds
>>24313368wow that's nuts!
>>24313370Nutrient imbalance is based and trads, only woketards push the DIVERSE diet meme
>>24313368I'm curious to know what disease or deficiency you'll die from if you only eat hazelnuts.
>>24313370Since when is 1/3 = 1?Also, squirrels are edible.
I am ever amazed at how retarded the glowies are when trying to fight against people growing food. Aggressively stupid.
>>24313370Humans survived with "nutrient imbalances" since the inception of the species
>>24313374iron obviously aka anemia/hypoxia
If kept at room temperature, unshelled hazelnuts last 6 months. If refrigerated, they last an entire year. Double that if frozen.
>>24313377the solving of this problem, the seasonal and regional nutrition imbalances has allowed the population to live longer and grow. Things that can merely be "survived" aren't necessarily best for the organism.
>>24313378hazelnuts are actually not a bad source of iron26% dv in 100g
>>24313368Nuts contain alfatoxins that are poisonous carcinogens
>>24313378Let's hope it's quick, I get sick just thinking about eating hazelnuts for a week at best.
>>24313381u canot use any iron from plants and iron contains so many oxalates and tanins youd even be deficient if youd eat 50% hazelnuts and 50% beef, planttard
A dwarf cherry tree produces 20+ pounds of fruit in a season. 1 pound of cherries costs ~7 bucks. A cherry tree costs 60 bucks. It pays for itself almost twice over in one growing season once mature (~3 years from cuttings) and continues to produce for 50+ years.
>>24313382those toxins are produced by fungi, not a problem if the nuts are stored properly>>24313384I don't believe this is true
>>24313368>bro, just eat like 50 hazelnuts every day!>be sure to turn the remaining 2/3 of your diet into a dense nutrient powerhouse with minimal fat tooWhy the fuck would you do this though?
>>24313382your post contains extremely low test and i dont want to see such posts
>Retards incapable of spreading the hazelnuts across the yearIf you are this dumb, no amount of good advice will save you from yourself
Yeah everything I have in the yard is productive. Even my roses.
>>24313368You are forgetting what a fucking pain in the ass is to de-shell all these fuckers. Better to plant a walnut tree.
A fig tree matures in ~3 years, produces several pounds of fruit per season and can continue producing fruit for multiple centuries. They cost ~30 bucks per tree.
>>24313392Walnuts are way harder to shell and take much longer to mature (~10 years).
>>24313368I'm not a big fan of hazelnuts. Where do I buy peanut trees?
>>24313387It's actually closer to ~130 hazelnuts each day to hit 1/3 of your total caloric intake.
>>24313395Peanuts don't grow on trees. They also require digging to harvest.
>>24313395You don’t, they’re shrubs. They’re also nitrogen fixers that help naturally fertilize the soil.
>>24313368I sir vill not eat zee nutsI vill not take zee vaxI vill own my own things even if it makes me unhappy
>>24313368>Will continue to nut for ~40 yearsDang
Tree crops are great, the expansive root networks of trees give them greater access to soil micronutrients, many tree nuts are high in essential minerals.I'd love to have some of the new blight resistant American chestnut trees, but I don't have space for them. They also take nearly 20 years before they start to produce properly.
>>24313401They also help prevent soil erosion.
>>24313397>They also require digging to harvest.I better plant hazelnut trees then because I don't have a shovel.
>>24313394You get more nut flesh per shelled nut though, also they're more versatile in cooking
>>24313392>Better to plant a walnut tree.Macadamia or Pecan are probably more profitable, if you can grow them.
>>24313368when are mods going to ban you for spamming this every fucking day
You can maximize space usage by first planting a tree, then planting a vine that climbs the tree and then planting a shrub that fills out the space at the bottom of the tree. Three harvests from one spot.
>>24313406You have thousands of identical 1PBTID threads about Ukraine, black people, jews and peepeepoopoo, but can't handle one organic thread about becoming more self-sufficient.
>>24313393>Fig. 1Very nice idea!
>>24313380which relies on a complex chain of productiontrees like op suggests are the easiest way to achieve self sufficient food production
>>24313410Especially if you raise pigs. The quality of the meat is drastically better if they have a diet rich in nuts, even the ones we can't eat (without heavy processing) like acorns.
the great thing about chestnuts is that their nutrient profile is closer to that of staple grains and potatoes, rather than being mostly fat.you can practically feed a village with a handful of mature chestnut trees>>24313402and they can provide windbreaks and favorable microclimates for other plants
>>24313412Yup. Planting trees is one of the best things you can do for the environment.
This isn't banter at all. It's economics, ending the reliance on government/corporations and ecology. This belongs on /pol/.
>>24313430I agree, control over the food supply has always been a favorite lever of compliance for tyrannycan't starve the peasants into submission if they have abundant calories growing in every backyard
>>24313528They are quickly making a normal house cost one million dollars, so a lot of us will never own a home. And our landlords will not want us planting trees in their backyard.
Nutella ahh thread type shi
Dandelions and kudzu grow faster than any plant and grow in nearly any climate might as well eat those instead if you want sustainable food
Seriously though look into edible plants we now consider weeds due to how easy they are to maintain as a food source
>>24313430You put something about self-reliance on /pol/ and it'll get archived or 404'd faster than a post reminding everyone that the Russians didn't actually start the shit that's going on right now.
>>24315269I've got blackberry bushed out back, we actually have to mow them down every few years because of how they're spreading.
Even rentcucks can have a go with small raised beds and pots. No excuses
>>24316511They're great as long as you keep them in check, wild plants are more resilient than anything and better for you
>>24318923We made like 4 jars of jam a few years ago, but last year our chickens found the berries first.
