First Plant in a Food Forest 🍌

First Plant in a Food Forest 🍌

Whenever someone asks me, “what is the first plant that I should plant in a food forest?” I usually say a banana!

Bananas have so many advantages. They are quick growing—some produce fruit in a year. They are a great source of organic matter to create soil with. They create a microclimate for plants that like shade. They are delicious. But I personally grow them because I think they are one of the prettiest plants in the world. Every time I see a banana, I feel a connection and a sense of joy.

The great thing about bananas is you plant 1 plant, and before you know it, you have so many new plants, you have to give them away.

I currently have 13 varieties of bananas in my food forest. Yes, 13. What about you? Are you growing bananas? What’s your favorite type to grow? Do you find the same joy and connection that I feel with this plant?
