Management: Standard  Regional Crop  Staple Crop: Balanced carb

As pao nuts often do well and are most common on low off shore islands and coral waterfront villages, they may be particularly suited to coral and alkaline soils[658 ]. If trees are planted in suitable sites and well looked after, they can produce fruit in a year or two from seed[658 ]. The tree can flower and produce seeds all year round[658 ]. Several different races or types of pao nut have been selected by villagers and these trees seem to produce fruit that is similar to the seed that was planted[658 ]. Trees grown from cuttings have shorter trunks and form branches closer to the ground[658 ].

Carbon Farming

• Management: Standard  Plants grow to their standard height. Harvest fruit, seeds, or other products. Non-Destructive management systems.
• Regional Crop  These crops have been domesticated and cultivated regionally but have not been adopted elsewhere and are typically not traded globally, Examples in this broad category include perennial cottons and many nuts and staple fruits.
• Staple Crop: Balanced carb  (0-15 percent protein, 0-15 percent oil, with at least one over 5 percent). The carbohydrates are from either starch or sugar. Annuals include maize, wheat, rice, and potato. Perennials include chestnuts, carob, perennial fruits, nuts, cereals, pseudocereals, woody pods, and acorns.
