Money doesn't grow on trees, but salad does!
September 26, 2021
Want salad, but not sure what to add to it? How about something that is called exactly what it is used for? Chief Kubo’s South Sea Salad Trees (Abelmoschus Manihot), are not trees at all, but in our subtropical climate, they grow like trees, and produce exactly what the name implies - salad! Salad trees are in the same family as okra and woody hibiscus. They are easy to grow in our climate and propagate readily from cuttings! Want to see how they grows Visit The Reid Farm and let us show you! We have them in stock, and they were propagated from our very own plants growing right here at The Reid Farm!
A little about them:
Origin : Southeast Asia
Hardiness Zone : 9-11 as a perennial, most zones as an annual
Soil : Grows well in most soil types
Light : Partial to full sun
Special Notes : : Pest and disease-resistant
The leaves and flowers can be eaten raw or cooked – use raw as part of a hearty salad, or add them to your favorite stir fry. Either way, they are delicious and nutritious being high in Vitamins A, C, iron and protein (12% protein!).
