In this episode I talk with perennial crops researcher and author Eric Toensmeier about trees with edible leaves. You might not think of tree leaves being suitable as human food, but many of them are quite tasty and their seasonality and nutritional content complement both annual and perennial vegetables. We cover several species, the maintenance techniques that support high productivity and some ideas on how best to cook them. For more information on Eric’s work you can checkout his website, perennialsolutions.org, or follow him on Instagram and/or Patreon. Want more info on trees with edible leaves? Eric wrote a whole book about it, which you can read or download for free at www.perennialagriculture.institute
