Neem, a versatile tree, is renowned for its multiple uses in food forests. Its leaves, bark, and seeds serve various purposes, from pest control and medicinal remedies to green manure to enhance soil fertility. With a mature size of 50-60 feet and evergreen nature, neem trees provide shade, improve soil health, and support biodiversity, making them a valuable addition to food forest ecosystems. Thriving in warm, tropical conditions and capable of year-round harvesting, neem trees offer a sustainable resource for enhancing both the functionality and the health of food forests. To cultivate neem successfully, ensure well-drained soil, regular watering, and provide ample spacing for the tree’s substantial size and growth.
