What did you do in your sacred garden today?
greenman62 replied to theuserformallyknownasd00d's topic in Ethnobotany
thanks Sally I am in New Orleans. while we dont freeze often most years will get a light freeze, 30F or so. every few years we get an arctic blast which means 26-28F. normally only a few hours and the ground never really freezes hard. as far as finding a place. The yard is full, but, im sure i can add a couple of posts for it to climb or let it go up the side of my house. I am guessing that if i can keep it alive,the winters will crop it back naturally anyway. can it handle those temps ? Brad -

Theobroma cacao + baobob + loquat for trade -------------------------------------------------------------- have baobob large and small https://www.google.com/search?q=baobab fruit https://www.google.com/search?q=baobab+fruit&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X -------------------------------------------------------------- loquat ------------------------------------------------------------ Theobroma cacaohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theobroma_cacaoTheobromine and caffeine are similar in that they are related alkaloids. Theobromine is weaker in both its inhibition of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases and its antagonism of adenosine receptors.[38] Therefore, theobromine has a lesser impact on the human central nervous system than caffeine. Theobromine stimulates the heart to a greater degree.[39] While theobromine is not as addictive, it has been cited as possibly causing addiction to chocolate.[40] Theobromine has also been identified as one of the compounds contributing to chocolate's reputed role as an aphrodisiac.[41]As it is a myocardial stimulant as well as a vasodilator, it increases heartbeat, and also dilates blood vessels, causing a reduced blood pressure.[42] A 2005 paper published suggested that the decrease in blood pressure may be caused by flavanols.[22] Its draining effect allows it to be used to treat cardiac failure, which leads to and is exacerbated by an excessive accumulation of fluid in the body.[42] ----------------------------- baobobAdansonia digitatahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adansonia_digitata ----------------------------------------- recent pics permaculture food forest in a suburban lot New Orleans

Loquat Loquat fruit benefits are high as they are an excellent source of Vitamin A, Vitamin B and C. It contains almost all the B complex Vitamins like thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, Pyridoxine, Folates and Folic acid. It contains minerals like calcium, manganese, potassium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, selenium and carbohydrates. It also contains monounsaturated fats like omega 3 fatty acids and omega 6 fatty acids. The fruit is also low in cholesterol and calories since it hardly contains any lipids or proteins. http://www.stylecraze.com/articles/amazing-benefits-of-loquat/ The plant is an evergreen, large shrub or small tree belonging to the family of Rosaceae, in the genus; Eriobotrya, and named botanically as Eriobotrya japonica. It is closely related to the "apples." Being a member of Rosaceae family of fruits, loquats have similar taste and flavor as that of apples; tart, and sweet with pleasant aroma. But they are soft and juicy in texture instead of crispy in apples. Loquat's leaves are also used in traditional medicines, and as herbal tea in many parts of the world. Health benefits of Loquat fruit Delicious, loquats are very low in calories; provide just 47 calories per 100 g. Nonetheless, they are rich in insoluble dietary fiber, pectin. Pectin retains moisture in the colon, and thus functions as bulk laxative. By this way, it helps to protect the colon mucous membrane by decreasing exposure time to toxic substances as well as binding to cancer-causing chemicals in the colon. Pectin has also been shown to reduce blood cholesterol levels by decreasing its re-absorption in the colon by binding bile acids resulting in its excretion from the body. Loquat fruit is an excellent source of vitamin-A (provides about 1528 IU or 51% of daily recommended levels of this vitamin per 100g), and phenolic flavonoid antioxidants such as chlorogenic acid, neo-chlorogenic acid, hydroxybenzoic acid, feruloylquinic acid, protocatechuic acid, epicatechin, coumaric acids and ferulic acid. Ripe fruits have more chlorogenic acid concentrations. Vitamin A maintains integrity of mucus membranes, and skin. Lab studies have shown that consumption of natural fruits rich in vitamin-A, and flavonoids helps to protect from lung and oral cavity cancers. Fresh fruit is very good in potassium and some B-complex vitamins such as folates, vitamin B-6 and niacin and contain small amounts of vitamin-C. Potassium is an important component of cell and body fluids, helps controlling heart rate and blood pressure. Furthermore, the fruit is also a good source of iron, copper, calcium, manganese, and other minerals. Manganese is used by the body as a co-factor for the antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase. Copper is required in the production of red blood cells. Iron is required for as a cofactor in cellular oxidation as well for red blood cell formation. http://www.nutrition-and-you.com/loquat-fruit.html -
