Such a person might ask questions like, Where will they grow? How do I grow them? Are they good to eat? How are they used? What are their names? These questions and more are answered here."--Foreword: A treasure trove for people who like plants.

These trees have become "traditional" by virtue of being intertwined with the culture and the day-to-day lives of indigenous peoples, for whom they provide edible fruits, nuts, leaves, and timber and wood for numerous other valuable products of everyday importance."--Foreword: Traditional trees-a key to well-being and prosperity.
