Herbs & Herbal Remedies @ Green Papaya

Green Papaya lists 240 of the most medically useful American plants...Papaya - a world class meat tenderizer, natural digestive aid, prevents ulcers, and also a soft contact lense cleaner.

The remembrance of these astounding folk discoveries... should sober our thoughts when we criticise too freely the old pharmacopoeias. It is easy to make fun of medieval recipes: it is more difficult and may be wiser to investigate them. Instead of assuming that the medieval pharmacist was a benighted foot we might wonder whether there was not sometimes a justification for his strange procedure. -- George Sartori, Harvard Professor and Author

Apple Native Cultivation - Grow your Favorite Variety

Apples

Apple Archeologists have found evidence that humans have been enjoying apples since at least 6500 8.C. Prehistoric apples resembled today’s crab apples-small, dry, and mealy. But as agriculture developed, apples became one of the world’s first hybridized orchard fruits.

Today about 300 apple varieties grow in the 50 states.

Special varieties have been developed for just about every set of growing conditions in North America. Consult a nursery for the varieties best suited to your locale.

Full-size apple trees grow to about 40 feet and spread over 1,600 square feet (40 by 40). However, genetic dwarf apple varieties produce delicious, full-size fruit but grow to only 6 to 12 feet and spread over less than 150 square feet (12 by 12).

Plant the rootstock in a sunny location. Water regularly.

Prune at planting, then annually. Different apple varieties have different fertilizer requirements and different pest problems.

Consult your nursery.
