Trees with edible leaves...

Recommended Posts

grow Toona from suckers... very easy.


The following species are eaten with nam prik in Nthn Thailand

Azadiracta indica (Sadow , Neem)
Senna siamea (Khi lek)
Acacia pennata (Cha om) especially good in omlettes
Morinda citrifolia (Bai yaw , Noni)

Erythrina indica is edible, often grown as a fodder/living fence, but ok with nam Prik also.

Sauropus androgynus , in case it hasn't already been mentioned (ok its a Very small tree :unsure: )
Polyscias scutelarius and P.fruticosa are eaten in many parts of S.E.Asia

there's a very old book (from 1970's) worth searching for
'Edible leaves of the tropics'
ok... quick search, looks like it's been reprinted

not just tree lvs, but a handy little book nonetheless.
