Food Forest in a Box

Sale Price: $150.00 Original Price: $175.00

Bring layered, productive, and wildlife-friendly plantings to your landscape with this curated starter kit. Designed for small-scale food forests, permaculture plots, and agroforestry, this collection combines fast-establishing shrubs, understory trees, and long-term nut producers to create diverse yields across seasons.

What’s included

  • 1 planting care instruction kit for each crop

  • 5 American elderberry cuttings: Fast-growing, multi-stemmed shrub producing summer clusters of edible berries and summer flowers that attract pollinators. Useful as an early structural and fruiting layer; berries are excellent for preserves and syrups (cook before eating).

  • 3 Chicago Cold Hardy fig cuttings: Vigorous, low-maintenance plants that produce sweet figs in summer and autumn where winters are moderate. Works as a small, productive tree or espaliered edge plant in many temperate food forests.

  • 3 Pawpaw seedlings: Native understory fruit tree with large tropical-tasting fruits in late summer. Shade-tolerant and a great companion for natives and nitrogen-fixing support species; attracts pollinators and specialty fruit enthusiasts.

  • 3 American Persimmon seedlings: Long-lived fruit trees producing sweet, flavorful persimmons in fall. Provides seasonal fruit and wildlife habitat; many varieties are adaptable to a range of soil types.

  • 6 Chestnut seedlings: 2 from Qing, 2 from Sleeping Giant, 2 from Mossbarger, all blight resistant. Nut-producing trees with high yields under good conditions. Fast-growing species selected for disease resistance where available; excellent long-term canopy layer for a productive food forest.

  • 3 Kanza Pecan seedlings: Large, long-term nut tree with scab resistance offering high-value nuts and deep shade. Best suited to sites with space to accommodate mature spread and full-sun exposure.
