how common are fruit trees in the wild

(1/5) > >>

SplorKeLZ:
 I was wondering this, it seems like they are rare and hard to find, but then again all angiosperms make fruit and a lot are edible. if you were walking through the jungle, how many fruit trees would there be, and is there a "technique" for fining them?

vnomonee:
timing would be imporant, research what grows there and when it's expected to be ripe

Dimitry Fisher:
As the previous responder said, research is key.  There are tons of scientific papers referenced on Google Scholar - many of them open-access - that address this or related questions for various locales.  See for example this:  https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C6&q=tree+species+census+rainforest&btnG=

If you use Instagram, there is a woman forager from Canada foodforageandfodder who always brings lots of fruits and nuts from the woods. Hazelnuts are very common. And lots of mushrooms, of course.


Your climate must be similar to hers so good reference.
