The link goes to the group&#8217;s blog page so if there&#8217;s a more recent post, just look for the January 10, 2023 post on Trees with Edible Leaves: PAI&#8217;s latest publication. Toensmeier is the author (along with co-author Jonathan Bates) of <em>Paradise Lot<\/em>, which our book club read in 2019. I described it as a permaculture romance although the authors described it as: &#8220;two plant geeks, one-tenth of an acre and the making of an edible garden oasis in the city.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-1120\" src=\"https:\/\/www.margaretmenache.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2023-03-01-at-7.59.36-AM-234x300.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2023-03-01 at 7.59.36 AM\" width=\"233\" height=\"295\" \/>Trees with Edible Leaves<\/em> is 80 densely packed pages and &#8220;profiles one hundred and two species of trees, shrubs, and cacti that are grown for their edible leaves and shoots.&#8221; The pdf includes cultivation tips, including pruning, and nutritional information among other information like where it grows well, where it&#8217;s from, how to harvest, and really helpful photographs of what the leaves look like.<\/p>\n<p>The blog post states that they&#8217;re currently translating the pdf into Spanish and asks for translators of other languages.
