PRESERVE FRUIT DIVERSITY
"Beyond the courtyard, near to the doors, lies a large four-acre orchard, surrounded by a hedge. Tall, heavily laden trees grow there, pear, pomegranate and apple, rich in glossy fruit, sweet figs and dense olives. The fruit never rots or fails, winter or summer. It lasts all year, and the West Wind's breath quickens some to life, and ripens others, pear on pear, apple on apple, cluster on cluster of grapes, and fig on fig..."
The Odyssey, Book VII, 112-121
Since time immemorial, fruits and nuts have formed vital ingredients of man's diet. By means of careful selection, the centuries brought forth innumerable varieties, which were, in part, planted in very limited locations, perfectly adapted to the respective climate and soil. Over the past decades, numerous local fruit species have disappeared. The remaining diversity and all the newly bred varieties will only be preserved if they are cultivated, multiplied, and eaten.
Old and new fruit varieties
Many people desire to plant their gardens with "old" fruit varieties and "traditional" fruit trees and are often amazed when they hear that, for example, the origin of the apple is Kazakhstan and that almost all popular "homegrown" fruit varieties in fact have a long journey behind them. In some generations the "foreigners" planted here will probably naturally be "old" and "homegrown" fruit varieties.
Fruit trees - a project for generations
Trees require years to become established at their location and several more years to yield their full potential. After that, however, they bestow their precious fruit upon several generations.
