Nut based agroforestry offers a huge potential to increase the ecosystem functions of human habitats. Osker Brown, of Glorious Forest Farm, will discuss all aspects of nutrition, harvest, storage, processing, and culinary use of acorns, hazelnuts, chestnuts, hickories, and black walnuts. We will show and tell tools and methods for processing, and sample some treats. We will also cover tending wild habitats for these crops, as well as cultivation of them in managed landscapes, and integration with livestock and annual cropping systems. Learn about the abundance of nuts around you and explore their many beneficial uses. In part 2, Osker begins by showing large oaks in a local cemetery and talks about the ease of nut collection from a place like that and how to spot good places to gather nuts.

There is a breed of hazelnut that produces small nuts, and is being billed as wildlife hazelnuts. What do you think of planting groves of these for wildlife? I like the idea, but don't want to do much work on an orchard after I've planted them. May be up for coppicing them every few years
Awesome guest!!!
This is the most honest permaculture series on youtube. Keeping it real …for a change.

Bruh chestnuts are delicious
Great talk. All ecological problems are social problems and they have political solutions.
Don't you have to soak acorns to remove the tannins to make them nontoxic in large quantities?
My grandfather, born 1903, told me a pecan will never produce nuts if the tap root is broken which means they can't be transplanted. Squirrel planted pecan are the most viable and productive. But, they are always planted in the most peculiar places.
