RE: Cold Climate Permaculture Plants: Caragana

Wow, those look like sweet peas and green beans on a tree. My sister won't like to eat them. But you mentioned only to eat the seeds in the pod so maybe she'll eat it. But she doesn't like green peas too. Is the seed green?

The bee almost look like a part of the flower!

Sort:  

If i remember the seeds start off green and then turn a brownish color as they mature. They don't taste exactly like peas though.

Yeah, that picture with the bee I took myself. He is really getting in there!

thanks for checking out my post and upvoting my post and following me if you were here i 'd let you drive me in my gocart

but i like Canada bee-cause it snows more there! we hardly have any snow here this winter

No problem, that go-cart sounds like fun!

The snow is nice but it gets really, really cold here....

I think I have seen this similar type of tree in the Philippines. In the Philippines it's called ipil-ipil same bean pods green seeds then turns brown. I don't remember eating it though.

It has high protein content too but has a certain acid so I don't think I'll let my cows eat it when we get to that point in our farm life :D

There are many trees that have compound leaves and bean pods. I think most of them are nitrogen fixing but not all of them are edible.
