A community to discuss fruit trees, fruit forestry, fruitarianism, and all things fruit-related.
Post photos of your fruit trees or harvests, share growing information or interesting articles, ask questions, or just express your appreciation for fruit in general!
Hosted on slrpnk.net, an instance with an ecological and anti-capitalist focus.
Fruit trees provide many ecological benefits – they are trees, after all! A properly-stewarded fruit forest can provide many of the benefits of a native forest while also providing an abundance of wholesome and delicious food! No tilling the soil, no killing the plants at harvest time, and no wasted vertical space. Fruit trees are also the gift that keeps on giving, producing food for decades and producing seeds and other propagation materials in order to spread the abundance, no profit incentive needed! Share with your friends, share with your neighbours, share with the birds – you’ll have so much food, you’ll be giving it away! Shifting to a tree-based agriculture would also free up a huge amount of land, allowing native forests to regrow, which would have an enormous benefit for the climate. Fruit trees are the ultimate win-win situation!

Is a fruitarian someone who only eats fruit? Do these people exist? Do they have normal bathrooms?
They do. They don’t exist long, though.
Yes.
Yes, though not many of them as far as I know.
Most probably poop outside or in a bucket, at least if their situation allows.
