Now available: PLANTS FOR YOUR FOOD FOREST: 500 Plants for Temperate Food Forests and Permaculture Gardens.
An important new book from PFAF. It focuses on the attributes of plants suitable for food forests, what each can contribute to a food forest ecosystem, including carbon sequestration, and the kinds of foods they yield. The book suggests that community and small-scale food forests can provide a real alternative to intensive industrialised agriculture, and help to combat the many inter-related environmental crises that threaten the very future of life on Earth.

Other Uses
Furniture Wood
Other uses rating: High (4/5). The tree produces a highly valued timber that is much sought after and commonly exported[451].
Due to the heavy exploitation of this tree for its timber, it has been classified as 'Vulnerable' in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species[338]. The brownish-yellow wood has a strong, aromatic scent. It is close-grained, hard, very heavy, does not split and is very durable in the ground[ 46 , 451 ]. Because of its fragrance, it is sometimes used as a substitute for sandalwood (Santalum spp.)[ 451 ]. It is used for heavy outdoor work, house and ship building, bridges, flag poles etc[ 46 , 451 ]. However, because it is prone to shrink and warp, it is only suitable for furniture or turnery if it has been fully seasoned[ 451 ].
