I've never seen a yellow one. Just green then dropped from the tree to rot.

+iluvator65 -They can turn red, that's when they taste best.

Does it have bad effect if we eat it in much quantity? I have the tree but I'm afraid to eat it

Thanks... I did manage to get that information in my article on the parent website, EatTheWeeds.com

Thirty years from now when some governmental functionary says "Isn't that a tropical almond" you say... "so that's what it is..."

LOL

I'm near Ft Myers too! I've been on the hunt, and surprisingly haven't come across many of these trees. Considering the crazy landscaping we have in our area, I'm surprised our neighborhoods aren't chock full of these "ornamental" guest trees. 😁 Humans are the invasive ones...although I will fight to keep the indigenous plant friends thriving and well.

Squanto - if you start at the beginning of this video series, quite a few of the plants should be available in the PNW. Don't know where in that region you are located, but isn't Portland USDA Zone 8? Like northern Florida?

Also, you may want to check out Blanche Cybele Derby's KZfaq channel. She's based in the Northeast, probably USDA hardiness Zone 6, but a lot of the plants she covers can probably be found in your area. She also has DVDs that cover even more plants.

There are no almond trees within a 100 yard of my property.

Robert Barbour Ditto, you okay Dean? Your public calls to you!

Cape Chick I really learnedalot from Deans videos. I started eating wils plants because of them.

I finally found his facebook page. It's the same, Eat The Weeds on FB. Has a lot more recent stuff, so at least we know he's okay!

Honeysuckle is iffy but you might want to consider a local Smilax.

For what use? Food?

EatTheWeeds There seem to be multiple answers, but food is one, as is changing the chemistry of the water. www.indianalmondleaves.com/aquariums.php The leaves are sold for good prices. I used to work at a company for 17 years and parked my car under an almond tree and often had leaves fall on the car, and after the company closed down and I no longer work there I found out I could have been selling the leaves on ebay, LOL Apparently, in some cases, money does grow on trees.

EatTheWeeds the tannins in the Indian almond raises the PH and is thought to provide a type of medicinal treatment for the fish and shrimp that people keep, they have been shown to have some antifungal effects which can always be helpful in a closed system like an aquarium

Can we eat this frequently, i mean does it have bad effect if we eat it in much portion?

The sprout easily whole. I carried two home and potted them.

That's limestone... not really a rock... though in south Florida it might as well be a rock. I go through LaBelle often and the limestone is just a couple of feet below the surface. But where I grew up if one need a rock you just kicked the ground over...

Great point, Rj! In the earlier videos, starting with the very first one, Green Deane talks about the importance of only eating plants that are growing in a wholesome environment - not close to busy roads or highways (lightly traveled back roads are a different story), avoiding plants where herbicides are sprayed or nearby, water plants or plants that grow along the edges of water only if the water is unpolluted, etc. Then again, unless it is organic, basically all the food in the grocery is contaminated. The USDA has approved increases of residues of the herbicide Roundup, aka glyphosate, on food; and now it is also being used as a 'harvest aid' sprayed when the crop is ripe. Not to mention a bunch of other synthetic chemicals used in growing and processing food. Even plastic packaging and can linings transfer harmful chemicals to food. And did I mention chemicals and heavy metals (mercury, etc) in rain- including glyphosate. So, we all need to use our common sense, and be cautious - as you point out, but it is pretty hard (impossible?) these days to find or even grow food withe zero synthetic contaminants. At least you know the lawns that have weeds have not been sprayed recently! Yeah, that golf course would probably qualify as a 'superfund' site! Then again, the right soil life, bacteria and other microbes, fungi, etc - can do amazing things in breaking down man-made chemicals. Search Dr. Elain Ingham and Paul Stamets for more info. All the best to you!

Jefferdaughter Great reply. You definitely are in tune with the current day hazards. "Harvest aids" are used by those that are truly into profits for they know very well such methods are extremely hazardous to humans and their babies. With the "Bigs" creating more and more GE/GMO crops and buying up Heirloom seed companies... we have no choice but to grow our own crops. The total disregard to health by these companies is purely for profits and their individual paychecks/pensions. Have they no compassion? They live on earth too. They need to wake up!
