This month: Trees & shrubs outclass both annuals and herbaceous perennials in yielding the most nutritious vegetables, and they can produce abundant leaves for years or decades with minimal input. Join us in a discussion, drawing on Eric Toensmeier's freely downloadable *Trees with Edible Leaves*, of the whys, hows, and whos of growing leaf crops on woody perennials. Learn about, taste, and/or take home keiki of must-haves including bele, chaya, katuk, ofenga, chipilin, and many more!
