Callaloo is a leafy green vegetable often used in Caribbean and African cuisines, and it is known for its spinach-like flavor and rich nutritional content. With a compact size, typically reaching 2-4 feet in height, and its bushy growth habit, callaloo is an excellent choice for food forests, providing a source of fresh, edible greens. This versatile green thrives in warm, sunny conditions and can be harvested throughout the growing season, making it a practical choice for enhancing both nutrition and diversity in food forest ecosystems. To cultivate callaloo successfully, ensure well-drained soil, consistent watering, and regular pruning to encourage fresh leaf growth, ultimately contributing to the overall health and sustainability of the food forest.
