Fruit Bearing Trees for Planet Healing

Do you want to heal this planet of ours? Join us here for this message of hope and practical solution.
Growing trees in a desert, although semi-arid, is one of the greatest methods of bringing local rain through transpiration while bringing food to local markets or in your own backyard. Time for growing our own food is long overdue. With rain capture becoming a norm around the world, watering trees and bushes is becoming simpler and more productive than anyone originally thought.
Keep in mind that all trees, including fruit trees, are nature’s way of creating rain on inland properties through transpiration of water from its leaves upward to form clouds. The roots keep soil moist for longer than smaller plants such as annual crops. They also take little trimming in the years after the tree is planted, and then produce fruit without care after a few short years.
Again, the root system does a great deal to bring to them the vital life forms under the soil to complete the nutrition-making process that you, your family, and possibly customers will live longer because of. Having at least one fruit tree next to your home or available close to a community brings you joy, health and planetary healing all-in-one.
Can we as humans think of gaining health so quickly as to plant a few small food trees and watch them provide for you for the next 40-50 years or longer? The next time you see a fruit tree during its food bearing season, thank the tree and stand in amazement at its giving nature. How many people are that giving for that many years? It’s a wonder…
