You are actually fucking dumb if you own land and don't plant some fruit/nut trees, shrubs or vines.Even a dwarf cherry tree produces so much that it pays for itself as soon as it starts fruiting (2-3 years from cuttings) and then continues giving you bountiful harvests for decades.
You can't live of only fruit dumb canuck
>>534722035Indeed, if everyone had their homesteads wed have decent populatiom density to weather disease better than the hive cultures and nobody in pharma would need vote their meal ticket, just their disposable income However id still say its worth being stupid in the name of divine providence if there isnt a pathway available to such land that doesnt involve debt service

>Even a dwarf cherry tree produces so much that it pays for itself as soon as it starts fruiting (2-3 years from cuttings) and then continues giving you bountiful harvests for decades.this cant be true or everyone with a fruit tree would be rich
>>534722361Classic
>>534722035I tried but birds and other animals become a huge problem.
>>534722035Existing trees on my property render about 90% of the land unsuitable for food production. Thanks for the suggestion though.
>>534722285You can if you add beans and taters, both dumb eaasy
>>53472242260 dollars for a sapling already a few feet tall. I'm a couple years it'll easily produce 20+ pounds of fruit.Fresh cherries cost several dollars a pound.Do the math. One growing season and it paid for itself.
>>534722639In* a couple years...
>>534722285One hazelnut tree provides enough calories for you to live an entire month with a 2500 Cal/day diet.
>>534722574>Cut down a few non-fruit/nut trees>Sell the wood>Have enough money to buy trees that will feed you, your children and grandchildren
>>534722285You could live off of fruit and nuts and be healthy
>>534722035How do you deal with animals and pests? Like bird coyotes skunks foxes or what not that will eat your cherries before they are ripe and there is nothing to harvest.
>>534722932You can also feed chickens some of the fruit and get fresh eggs every morning
>>534722947There's this newfangled technology called "guns". You might have heard of them.
>>534722947Net the tree or bag the clusters of fruit
>>534722947"Rabbits girdling the tree" oddly absent from the problem list
>>534723049You can put a small fence around the base. You should also put some rocks there to prevent your chickens, if you have any, from scratching up the roots.
>>534722821>Cut down a few non-fruit/nut treesNo
>>534723351It'll be too late to change your mind once you are starving
>>534723351I feel you, I live in the woods tooBut I've learned that a tree that does more than provide a view is more desirable, at least some times
>>534723439This chicken little routine's been going on for years. Pretty sure I'll be fine.Maybe I'll get some chickens or something.
>>534723544Food prices have gone up dramatically in the last few years and they're going to keep going up.
you can plant organic potatoes directly in the ground. the organic ones don't have anti sprouting chemicals. no need to buy expensive seed potatoes
>>534723486Cherry trees in bloom are top-tier in terms of aesthetics.
>>534723708I've never seen potatoes fail to sprout. NOt to suggest the chemical treatment isn't real, but I've never seen it with ordinary russet potatoes. Industrial farm associated diseases are a bit of a concern though
>>534723581This is not the first time shit like this has happened. This is not remotely a unique situation. Markets are going to stabilize long before anything resembling a crisis occurs. Nothing.Ever.Happens.
>>534723953Human history is filled with famines, especially during times of war or economic instability.
>>534723953>This is not remotely a unique situationYou know it's funny you say that because modern life is incredibly unique, historically speaking
>>534723986It was always, always, punctuated by either crop failures or breakdown of trade networks in civilizations can do not produce their own food.The US produces more food than it eats. Even a significant crop failure wouldn't starve us out, exports would just become less tenable. Never in history has a people been priced into starvation.
>>5347246971. China is actively trying to cause crop failures in the US.2. Intercontinental trade is going to be fucked in case of any large scale war.
>>534724697>>534724822Oh, and I guess3. The people who hold political and economic power in your own country want you to die
>>534724822Trade is irrelevant as we are a massive net exporter. Literally half of our food priduction is sent overseas. China trying to cause crop failures? Insecticides, herbicides, fungicides. All these things that retards are terrified of are exactly what has allowed us such unprecedented food security in the US. Matbe if RFK Jr. does something exceptionally retarded I'll begin to worry.
>>534725126>I'll begin to worry.And by the time the food prices become unlivable it'll be too late to start growing your food.
>>534725191Yes, because regulations on production are going to get *tighter* in the face of a shortage.
>>534725381How many covid jabs did you take? 12? 30?
>>534725408Not a simgle one. Thanks for asking.
>>534722035I palnted banana trees on my land but i didn get any banan :DDDDDDDD
>>534722035A cherry tree?Even a modest grape vine produces buckets of fruits as soon as the roots get deep enough.
>>534725707I included "vines" in the OP for a reason.
PLANT LOQUATS. EVERYONE READING THIS NEEDS TO PLANT LOQUATS. THEY CAN GROW ALMOST ANYWHERE IN THE USA OR SOUTHERN EUROPE. THEY TASTE LIKE STARFRUIT AND SURVIVE HARD FROSTS.totally underrated fruit. i had no idea how awesome it was myself. but it'll never be in stores because the fruits are fragile like mangosteens.
>>534725860My area is a few hardiness zones too cold for that one, unfortunately.
>>534722422>2026: zoomers discover fruit treesGood job, a decade or so and maybe you will discover agriculture. Or that you can make tools out of stone.
I seeded most of my 10 acres with Bolivian torch and San Pedro.
>>534725860Not possible in zone 6 or lower, 7 is even pushing it
>>534726012Generally you want to pick plants that can survive one hardiness level up or down from yours to make sure it survives unusually hot/cold years.
I'm in zone 5, so I make sure everything I plant can survive at least zones 4 to 6.
Ever heard of nannyberry?It likes zones 2 to 8, is FUCKING GORGEOUS and the berries taste like a mix between bananas and prunes!
>>534726554>>534726196I'm in the hot side of 8, I guess it's not for me. Looks fairly similar to wild cherry but color inverted foliage
>>534727304You have a great selection of stone fruit in that zone. I'd look at those first.
>>534722035What can you grown in the tropics though that will actually feed you. I have starfruit but it's kinda poisonous lol can't really grow stone fruits here. Bananas are ok but get beat up in the wind etc.
>>534727558Hardiness zone?
>>534727493I don't have to really, the forage is good. Plums, cherries, elderberries, even currants (though they kinda stink, they still taste good). I could go on, even.
>>534727609How about jujube?
>>534727608Tropics. Florida, Hawaii, San Diego, Australia, Turkey, Middle East, Asia, etc.
>>534722035Had 3 false summers in a row, killed all the cherry buds for this year. It feels bad, man.
>>534727727Florida is its own beast, to be honest. If you live there, you should just go to a local plant nursery.
>>534727727Also what about soil amendment? Just use compost? Or do you guys use fertilizers etc? Do you test the soils? I love growing plants etc but wish I could get better at knowing how to grow them faster and in the perfect conditions, seems like a lot of plants want fertilizer.
>>534727698That's Asian innit? Don't think I'd find any in the wild.
>>534722035No can do, anon. Cherries give me gas. You want me to fart up a storm?
>>534727852They're very cool plants. The fruit, when eaten fresh, is like apple + caramel. If you leave it on the tree, it naturally dries up for storage and makes a really good infusion.
>>534722574Black Walnut?
>>534722422If you have 1 tree, you can turn it into hundreds of trees with cuttings for free. Each year I get at least a gallon or two of cherries off every tree, and that's because most of my trees aren't dwarf cherries only full size, so I only pick the ones near the bottom and leave the rest for the birds. My cherry trees are like 40 to 60 feet tall. They're from seeds I harvested from grocery store cherries. I do have a dwarf cherry tree bush (Carmine Jewel), it gives me 2 gallons of cherries consistently each year that I use to make the best cherry syrup that you can get. In all I use about 10 dollars of fertilizer on the trees every couple of years.
>>534722035Kinda against the law to put females into the ground.
>>534728086If you have Black Walnut, you can still grow Pecans with them. Also if you can control the water flow, you can still get Peaches and Cherry to grow within 100 feet if you irrigate it correctly.
>>534727733Happens to me a lot. Last year a big hailstorm basically blitzed the elderberries and gooseberries, that was unusual
>>534728184Maybe I will try peaches. And Kentucky custard apples.
>>534722932>>534722962It's genuinely that ez. I haven't tried it myself yet but my dad has chickens and some fruits and vegetables, and it's a sound investment as far as I can tell
>>534728177>GROWING FOOD? VE DON'T DO ZAT IN GERMANY
If it’s that easy then why aren’t so many people using it for infinite money? It’s a legit item duping exploit.>Just get a tree and cut parts of it off and put them in the ground, in a year you have like a gorillion trees and it took me like 5 seconds per tree I feel like there are just so many things in 4chan that people describe in overly simplified terms so that they look like infinite money or infinite time glitches but it turns out to be really hard.
>>534728481The truth is, the plants use us as much as we use them.
>>534722947If you have non-dwarf cherry trees, none of those will be of any concern. The trees are too tall for anything but birds and squirrels to do anything with it, and if you have a Mulberry Tree nearby they'll prefer those to Cherry any day. The Mulberry fruit ripens about a week earlier and it more or less becomes a "sacrificial anode" for the Cherries. And because Mulberry will continue to put out soooo much more fruit throughout the entire grow season, it will never run out. You'll always be able to go out and get some for yourself even with all of the birds and squirrels doing their thing. If you have fruit trees, a Mulberry Tree is a must-have IMO.
>>534722035do you want ants? because that's how you get ants
>>534722035you are dumb if you live in canada and don't have an american wife and higher paying job
>>534728651I am actually planning to move South. The family members that do stay here are going to have an abundance of fruit, though.
>>534728481The difficulty in trees is mostly in getting them established. Pests can be hit or miss, you might not get anything major ever, you might get something easy to deal with, or you might be proper fucked.Pay attention to the local area and it'll give you an idea what works with minimal effort
>>534723049For the last 150 years they've called the .22LR the "Rabbit And Squirrel Gun" for a reason.
>>534728721And both are extremely tasty.
>>534728177I don't get German humor.
>>534728768Squirrel's better than rabbit but not really worth the effort.
>>534723351Lazy nigger I'm glad your land will be seized for browns
>>534728481>we suddenly forgot how to after a millennia of farmingif it wasn't easy why does shekelberg limit land ownership and introduce GMO products that have shortened lifespans that also render the soil toxic to anything that isn't of their GMO line?
>>534728201>elderberries and gooseberries>hailPut a net over them held up by metal poles to protect them from hail. My neighbor did that for hers and it worked for her. The trick is to make sure the net is angled in such a way so the ice will fully roll off of it and not get caught up in it and weigh it down.
>>534728268AFAIK apples are the least hardy towards Juglone. If you can get at least 200 feet and the runoff can be directed fully away from it, you'll be fine. If you cannot, I'd recommend putting the Apple Tree in a raised bed. That's what I did for mine.
>>534728481>>534722422The reality is that fruit is cheap. Let's take the cherry example:Google says a fully mature cherry tree (we're talking several years old) can produce maybe 100lbs of cherries per year. That's certainly more than you or your family will ever eat. Checking my local grocer: a pound of cherries runs about $6-$7/lb. So given some very generous estimates regarding production and how much of that is marketable quality, we're talking $700 per year per tree. So you'd need about 50 old growth trees to pull $35k. And that's before we discuss matters like overhead, upfront investment, bad harvest years, actually selling your product, etc. And do any of you fucks even have the land to put 50 full grown cherry trees? Subsistence farming like OP's advicating and industrial production that actually pulls a reasonable amount of cash are an entirely different ball game.
>>534729180The "ugly" fruit you can just turn into preserves or juice them (Imagine having your own cherry wine!)
>>534722722Should I grow coffee?
>>534729371If you can, you should. The cherries are edible, btw.
>>534728984IT was worth it to me to not go out in 1/2" hail, but I'll keep that in mind for the next round someday
>>534729329Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that. You're not going to get rich off the back of a modest plot of fruit trees is my point.I agree with you fruit trees are kinda underrated in the home gardening world due to the delayed gratification involved. My point of contention with you earlier ITT was just about the urgency of getting started.
>>534729371You got a buyer right here.
>>534729618Things will go to shit quickly and stay shit for a long time. The lower your food costs, the better.I just don't want you all to starve. The best time to plant was years ago. The second best time to plant is NOW.
>>534722574i have the same problem except its tobacco. where tf am i supposed to plant food?
>>534722035all of those fruits are nutrients pulled out of the ground by the tree(s)
>>534728481>>Just get a tree and cut parts of it off and put them in the ground, in a year you have like a gorillion trees and it took me like 5 seconds per treeThat's pretty much the truth, though. Throughout the course of annual tree trimmings, you take branches and trim them to fit into a planter which takes a minute or two, dip the trimmings in rooting hormone, put them into moist potting soil and cover. You water them 3 months later and then plant them next spring. It's literally that easy. >"waaaah I have to do stuff, waaaah!"It's the way life is, you do things to get things.
>>534728643I'd rather have ants then jews...
>>534729536The point being is that the months that they're susceptible you put and leave the net in place. One thing you could do is a hardware cloth mesh screen over the top of them held up by cheap landscape timbers.
>>534730134Hardware cloth under the beds, hardware cloth above....Useful stuff but annoying to work with
>>534729618>You're not going to get rich off the back of a modest plot of fruit treesWhenever there's a hiccup in the trade of goods, say a real pandemic or something, then it's not about being "rich" it's about being alive. At the very least it could mean trading Cherry Syrup for medical supplies or other foodstuffs. BTW Cherry Syrup / Fruit Syrup is stupid easy to make.
>>534730652Man, look at the colour on that. Beautiful.
>>534722035I planted a pine apple tree but it did not grow (it is cold in the winter and they are not native to this country). How to get the food that will grow it is expansive here to buy. Please how do Canadian afford for food here?? So many fat Canadian but so much money to buy= how
>>534729838Yup, and rainwater alone replaces a significant amount of it each year on its own. You can help the nutrient deposit by adding more into it, such as adding some Epsom Salt and Manure
>>534730652>fruit syrupI get that accidentally when trying to make jelly. Natural pectin is hard to dose
>>534722035viehmales also grow that juicy stuff.
no fruit producing trees or shrubs grow on my tundra hellscape. been trying for 18 years.
>>534730695That was a mix of Carmine Jewel Cherries, Black Tartarian Cherry, Blackberry, Strawberry, and Blueberry. Most of which I had picked earlier and kept in the fridge, they started to get old so I decided to make a syrup out of them before they went bad or molded. The ratios are just randomly what I had in there from the various harvests that nobody had eaten. The syrup was amazing, I tell you that. I made a few homemade sodastream sodapops with it, had some over pancakes and over oatmeal.
>>534730976Honeyberry is good to zone 2. Some apples and pears are good down to zone 1.
>>534730736I had intentionally set out to make syrup, though. I have a Sodastream so making my own natural pop is a thing I do.
>>534722323Liberals love living in commie blocks packed like sardines. They feel safe when they're surrounded by hoards of stupid people. That's how dumb and weak people think.
>>534731149Places with more people than trees are automatically shitholes.
>>534730652Yeah, I get that. My post here was actually defending OP:>>534729180The people I was responding to were making a leap in logic "if a single tree pays for itself so quickly, then why isn't everyone with a fruit tree rich?" as if that refutes the, frankly enormous, amount of food a handful of crops produce in the context of personal use. There's a reason countries that rely on subsistence farming are always poor as shit despite somehow never starving (see: rural parts of India).Fruit trees are a perfectly valid, often overlooked, investment for food security and lowering grocery bills. The fact that it's not an infinite money glitch does not, in any way, refute that point.
>>534730723Holy shit. You're so fucking Indian your post glows in poop color.
>>534722035Every fuckin' day with your "plant fruit trees so that niggers have something to eat after they kill us all off" bullshit. Fuck you.Cut down or burn all food trees.Destroy all food silos.Kill all food animals.Make life so difficult that only the top 0.0001% of intelligence can even figure out how to survive. Thus killing off all retards like OP and all his nigger and otherwise brown pets.
>>534731252>He's gonna let niggers kill him
>>534722035>attract wasps, hornets, birds, worms and ants to destroy all your fruit...harass you and shit all over your property. Oh and if you don't pick your fruit daily a bunch fall, rot and you get stung by the cunt hornets/wasps swarming your trees. I grew up with pear trees & a bunch more, Apples aren't too bad but there became so many that we had to sell, give away and dehydrate a bunch into apple chips which takes more time. Leave em on the ground and they rot, ferment, attract fall wasps that want to get drunk after getting kicked out of the hive etc. What will you realistically do with all that fruit? Jar it? Make jam? Most modern retards don't know how to do it, and many are too exhausted to deal with that process
>>534731252Raiders = Free fertilizer
>>534731345Chickens, Anon. They'll eat the fruit that fall on the ground.
>>534731345Build a cider press, that's what I'd do. I wouldn't cry about having a 55 gallon drum of cider a year
>>534722285Maybe true, but all of my landscaping is edible plants. I've even started managing my woods, I have about 10 acres set aside where I harvest the pine, oak, and maple for lumber and firewood while the birch gets coppiced for replenishable firewood, and another 5 acres that I leave the maples in for sap. The rest is left to go wild as a buffer. I use raspberry and blackberry for fence lines, my shade trees are apple, pear, pawpaw, and cherry. I want to plant some nut trees too. Beyond that I have a green house, market garden, herb garden, and 3 acres of pasture for my goats. All of it started 10 years ago with 80 acres and a cabin.
>>534731536You can harvest birch sap, btw. It's quite good.
>>534731252>niggers have something to eat after they kill us all offWhen the Great Tribulation kicks off, there's going to be a cataclysm happen that will invalidate your argument anyways. 1/3 of all of the trees will be burned up by the sun. All of the green grass will be burned up by the sun. All wheat and barley and other grains are grass. Even if there is still living fruit trees, they're so fragile in seasonal changes that they won't produce anything without extreme babying by humans, in other words: Niggers wouldn't be able to get food from our crops, even without us. We may plant and them harvest once, but that's it. The rest of the Great Tribulation is nigger starve town.
>>534731536Can't go wrong with hazelnut. I got filberts out here and they just don't compare
>>534731345Even rotting fruit is nectar for bees to make honey. If you have a beehive, your honeystocks will be overflowing.
>>534731687Wasps also eat pest bugs. They're good to have around.
>>534722035Im planting coconut trees to block nigger neighbors out right now, then um going to plant sugar cane and lilikoi inbetween with japanese sweet potato in the back
>>534731712Have you tried sprouted coconut?
>>534731687I gave up on honey after I noticed just how much bees love piss
>>534726554I'll have to check that one out, I have elderberries, but boiling them down is a pain.
>>534731870Easier to get them off the stem if you freeze the clusters
>>534727839The solution is more land, my market and herb gardens get amended with compost annually, but my berry and fruit trees I just have tons of, so subpar harvests are still good enough for me. I also go for variety in the hopes that I can weather bad years or disease easier with less maintenance.
>>534729144Kentucky custard apples aren't real apples. They're supposed to taste like banana mangos. I never seen one but they are supposedly native to my state, so easy to grow here in Kentucky.
>>534729180A lot of land is not necessary as long as you put thought into what you grow.
>>534722035here's how it works if you have a fruit tree:>january-july: no fruit>august: HOLY FUCK WHAT DO I DO WITH 250 PLUMS?>sept-dec: no fruit (but you get to clean up the leaves that got dumped onto your lawn)>>534722454this, too
>>534732289that looks like a lot of pruning every year
>>534731424That's what I do with my surplus that I can't even can. I use an old SS sink and garbage disposal to grind everything up and a harbor freight press to squeeze out the juice. I could use natural yeasts, but champagne yeast is cheap so that goes with the juice into 55 gal SS drums to ferment in the basement over the winter. Some I keg, some gets hauled outside to make applejack in jan-feb, and some gets turned into vinegar. People look at optimized processes for industrial production and think that's what they have to do at home, reality is that all this stuff was being done at home for hundreds of years. You might not get the same consistency, shelf life, or output, but you'll still get better than store bought and more than you can use.
>>534732308>doesn't know about canning
>>534731573Yeah, I've had birch beer. I may start tapping the birch that grow in with the maple. Right now I'm focused on coppiced birch though as 5 acres properly managed should provide me enough firewood indefinitely, so I doubled it for a safety margin.
>>534729914As long as you keep in mind that a cloned tree cannot pollinate itself. If you want fruit you need other varieties planted that were not from cuttings off the same tree.If you only use cuttings from the same tree and plant them, you'll get no pollination and no fruit.
>>534722035Jews hate this one simple trick.
>>534732308>>august: HOLY FUCK WHAT DO I DO WITH 250 PLUMS?Wow, I wonder how past generations dealt with this fascinating problem! I don't think they were smart enough to google it even.
>>534732308Canning and freezing. Frozen fruit and vegetables will last you through the winter if you package it right and put it in a deep freezer/chest freezer. Here in North Dakota, I buy a fuck ton of different berries, stone fruit, pineapple, etc., cut them up and seal them in a vacuum-sealed bag, which is best for long-term storage and preventing freezer burn. Most fruit thaw rather nicely and those that don't may be baked into pastries or used in smoothies.
Any of you guys freeze dry cherries before? How'd they turn out?
>>534731345You can hire neighborhood women to do your preserving for you, with the fruit you grow. Start creating community, again.
>>534733168I usually can fruit and stuff open-bath but then I learned my neighbor has a fucking gigantic ~15gal pressure canner
>>534722035Bump>Daikon radishes are hardy cool-season crops suitable for USDA Zones 2-11, thriving in temperatures between 50-65°F. They are quite frost-tolerant, often surviving temperatures down to 20-25°F, and actually become sweeter after light frosts. While they can handle light freezing, hard freezes below 20°F for consecutive nights can lead to rotting.
>>534722035birds and squirrels get most of my cherries before they're ripe enough to want to eat, plumbs and pears usually don't get snatched as bad.
>Horseradish is an exceptionally hardy perennial, typically thriving in USDA Zones 2-9. As a robust, deep-rooted European herb, it can survive harsh winters, often needing cold temperatures to go dormant and produce flavorful roots. Once established, it can become difficult to eradicate and may spread, so planting in a confined area or container is recommended.
>Mushroom mulch inoculation turns landscape mulch into a food source for gourmet mushrooms like Wine Cap or Oyster by layering or mixing spawn (mushroom mycelium) directly into hardwood chips. The best approach is to create a lasagna-style bed in partially shaded areas, layering 2–4 inches of fresh, hardwood mulch with sawdust or grain spawn, then keeping it consistently moist.
>Currants are extremely cold-hardy, deciduous shrubs primarily suited for USDA Hardiness Zones 3-8, with some varieties capable of surviving in Zone 2. They thrive in cool, temperate climates, with high tolerance for winter freezing but a preference for partial shade and temperatures below (85F)
>>534732340Lol those are columner apple trees. They stay short and hve no branches, so no pruning at all.
>>534733498>it can become difficult to eradicateI think I can manage to eat it allGrate that shit onto everything
>Prickly pear cactus (Opuntia spp.) species range from hardy to USDA Zone 3b, with many, like O. humifusa, surviving freezing temperatures down to Zone 4 (-30°F). They thrive in full sun and well-drained, sandy, or rocky soil. Essential care requires minimal water, and while they shrivel in winter, they recover in spring.>>534733776I got one root a few months ago, put it in a medium pot, the whole top is covered in big ass leaves already and the sides are slightly bulging.
>>534733764That's not a training thing? Crazy
>>534733887Shit, didn't know there were some that could grow here.
>Garlic is exceptionally hardy, with many varieties (especially hardneck) surviving winter temperatures as low as (-30F)>Garlic is a low-maintenance, reliable, and "set-and-forget" crop for most, as it is rarely bothered by pests and handles harsh winters with ease.
>>534733991It's also a good companion plant, as it deters pests
>Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis) is a highly cold-hardy perennial adapted to USDA Zones 2–9, typically thriving in Zones 3–8. It requires a cold winter dormancy period and prefers full sun with well-drained, fertile soil, with a pH of 6.5–7.5. A well-established bed can produce for 15–30 years.>>534733939I'm in high altitude coloradotransplanted some outside, they just got snowed on this past weekthey're pretty happyI think the only thing to avoid is putting them in a spot that gets covered in snow banks.
>>534734112IF it'll keep out rabbits that's more to the good. Then I'd have to not eat it all though
