Fat of the Land

Below is a google map documenting edible perennials in Knoxville. Perennials are plants that return year after year, as opposed to annuals like vegetables, which must be replanted each season. Most of the plants marked here are trees: black walnuts, pears, apple, and a couple peach tress. What great abundance! I'm looking forward to the spring when I can identify fruit trees by their blossoming. If you know of any edible or medicinal perennials in your area, please let me know and I'll add them to the map.
