 * //**Mulberry, Morus**//, **< * * >** : edible, forage, silkworms food, medicinal
 * //**[|Inga]**//, (fr: //Pois doux//), **< * * * >** : Edible seeds, Medicinal, Nitrogen fixer. Cultivated combined with coffee plants.
 * **//[|Avocado, Persea americana]//**, (fr: //Avocatier//), **< * >** :
 * **//[|Date Palm, Phoenix dactylifera]//, < * * * * * > :** Edible fruit. Additive to coffee. Aromatic oil for soap and cosmetics. Medicinal. Forage. Light but not durable wood, unless soaked in salt and regularly oiled. Thermal insulating properties. Used in construction (bridge, aqueduc, [|dhows]). Coating syrop against leaking. Palm leaves for fiber (hats, baskets, rope, coarse cloth). Spines used. [|Biochar]from seeds. Draught and frost resistant. Grows fast if irrigated. Fruit need sun to mature. Shallow root.
 * //**[|Turkish Hazel, Corylus Colurna]**//, (fr: //Noisetier de Byzance//), **< * * >** : edible, medicinal, mycorrhizal relationship, graftable (no sucker), 25m
 * //**[|Walnuts, Juglans]**, (Noyer)//, **< * >** : helped by mustards
 * **//Chestnuts, Castanea//,** (fr: //Chataignier//), **< * * * * >**: edible, forage, wildlife, timber
 * //**[|Stone Pine, Pinus pinea]**// (fr: //Pin parasol//), **< * * * * * >** : Edible nut. Flexible and light wood (wood working, boat construction). Associated with Aleppo Pine and Holm Oak. Deep tap root. Used to drain swamps and fix sandy dunes. (Mycorrhizal ?)
 * //**[|Aleppo Pine, Pinus hapensis]**// (fr: //Pin d'alep//), **< * * * * * >**: Edible nut. Aromatic resin. Hard but flexible wood (construction). Bark used to enhance resistance of fishing net. Deep tap root. (Mycorrhizal ?)
 * //**[|Oak, Quercus]**//, **< * * * >**: Edible nut, nuts and leaves are fodder, but toxic in large amount (tannic acid). Hardwood, Mycorhizal relationship with black and white truffle. Deep taproot.
 * //**[|Holm Oak, Quercus ilex]**//, (fr: //Chene vert//), **< * * * >**: coastal windbreaks, any well drained soil. Not tolerant of cold. Firewood or charcoal. Medicinal. Toxic tannic acid content. Mycorrhizal (e.g. black truffle)
 * //**[|Gliricidia]**//, (//[|Fabaceae]// family), **< * * * >** : fast grower, fuel wood, nitrogen fixer, forage nutritional but toxic, cultivated with cacao, coffee, vanilla, tea, pepper, passionfruit. Rodonticide. Living fence.
 * //**[|Caroube, Ceratonia siliqua]**//, (//[|Fabaceae]// family), **< * * * * * >**: Edible pods, Pods and seeds forage. Medicinal. Nitrogen fixation Deep root.
 * **//[|Jerusalem Torn, Parkinsonia]//,** **< * * * >** : "a medium to large long-lived tree, a good nitrogen fixer, small thorns, very hardy with light shade canopy.", [|[1.]]. Draught resistant.
 * //**[|Prosopis]**//, and notably //[|Prosopis glandulosa]//**,** **< * * * >** : "a medium to large tree, long-lived, a good nitrogen fixer, a good forage including the pods which can be human food; coppices and pollards well but is very spiny and is usually pruned to a high standard to reduce human contact with the spines, unless being used as an animal barrier hedge or for firewood production as it is quite good stick fuel for rocket stoves. Extremely drought tolerant.", [1][|.] //[|Mesquite]//group is also known as a bee forage, especially //[|Prosopis glandulosa]//, and as very hard wood. Phreatophyte with very deep roots, it may become difficult to remove. Some claim that it has a high transpiration and that it affects groundwater table. In certain countries (e.g. Kenya) Mesquite mismanagement and proliferation became a large scale problem.
 * //**[|Black Wattle, Acacia mearnsii]**//, < * * >**:** Nitrogen fixer. Draught resistant.
 * //**[|Acacia]**,// **< * * >** **:** more specifially dealbata, decurrens, saligna, sophorae, balleyana
 * **//[|Black Locust, Robinia pseudoacacia]//**, **< * * >** :
 * **//[|Sophora]//, < * * >** : Medicinal root. Possible nitrogen fixer. Prefers mid-shadow. Short draught resistant. Snow resistant. (more about **//[|macrocarpa]//**)
 * //**[|Albizia lebbek]**//, **< * * >** : "a slower growing, long-term, large canopy, long-lived shade tree; a good nitrogen fixer and very drought tolerant.", [|[1]]. Pods and seeds may be toxic and psychoactive, due to saponin, and limit their uptake. Leaves are free from toxicity ([|tropicalforage]).
 * //**[|Tipuana tipu]**//, **< * * >:** "a slower growing, long-term, large canopy, long-lived shade tree, with excellent filtered shade form for food forest canopy inter-planting; a good nitrogen fixer and moderately drought tolerant. Will coppice or pollard.", [|[1]]
 * //**[|Poinciana]**//, **< * >**: "a large and beautiful flowering and exotic leaf form, very wide canopy long-lived nitrogen fixer that will coppice and pollard. Quite drought tolerant.", [|(G.Lawton).]
 * //**[|Bauhinia]**//, **< * * >**: "a very beautiful flowering plant with an unusual leaf, a slower growing, large canopy, long-lived shade tree; a good nitrogen fixer and moderately drought tolerant. Will coppice or pollard.", [|[1]]
 * //**[|Casuarina Torulosa, or Allocasuarina torulosa]**//, **< * * * * * >**: "a fast-growing, long-lived, tall, slender form nitrogen fixer and phosphate fixer through fungi relationship; a very good wind break tree and excellent firewood.", [|[1]]
 * //**[|Tamarix]**//, **< * * * >**: Draught and salt tolerant, sandy soil. Wind break. Invasive.
 * //**[|Cypress, Cupressus sempervirens]**//, **< * * * * >** : medical use for vasoconstric properties. Indecomposable wood (boat, barrel, funerary)**.** Wind breaker**.** Salt and draight resistant. Deep taproot. High longevity tree.
 * **//Buddhist Pine, Podocarpus//,** **< * * * >** : edible, drought resistant, construction wood
 * **//[|Carya ovata]//,** **< * >** :
