Plants with Edible Parts

Many plants are grown as a food source and can signicantly add to the enjoyment and utility of a landscape. Although most people will typically grow plants for their fruits and berries, some species produce edible nuts, bark, roots, tubers, or leaves.

Be careful when growing plants for consumption.
Be sure to research how to eat a specific plant variety from a reliable healthcare source, remember that not all parts of a plant are edible and sometimes need to be cooked or prepared in a certain way. For many leafy plants it is common that only the young growth is edible, or for fruiting plants only fully ripe fruit is edible. Some fruit have non-edible parts, such as apples that have poisonous seeds.
