WHAT IS A FRUITARIAN?
Most of us affirm… what we must learn. In that spirit we offer you
this article on fruitarian diet. These thoughts are our hearts’
aspirations. May they be more and more our constant reality.
Fruitarian diet causes the least suffering to other sentient beings including plants. Compare as well the 100 to 1000 lbs per acre of animal flesh to the 450,000 or more pounds per acre from centenarian fruit trees. Fruitarians weigh over 25 lbs less than the average paleo diet person, are the healthiest, the most energy saving, the most reforesting and earth protecting.

The True Natural AntiDepressant
Frees from Alcoholism:
Consciousness and Brain Development:
Promotes Meditation:
Promotes Focus:
Best for Economy . . . in Centenarian Trees Many Fruit Cents become Dollars:
Prevention of Sexual Dysfunction:
Oil Source:
A fruitarian eats nothing which has been killed or
stolen. That supplants meat, dairy, and plants with the thousands of
fruit and nut combinations on the planet. E.g., a fruitarian can eat an
avocado sandwich, a coconut milk shake or the purest coconut ice cream
made from the milk and meat of the fruit, veggie burgers made of lentil
or beanpaste or tofu etc.,,a succotash of corn, limas, peas, and
tomatoes, sweets made with corn syrup or date sugar, or fructose, pecan
pies made with fruit sugars, fruitshakes made of a mixture of orange and
banana, pear and peach, pomegranate, papaya, and plum.. a pizza of
tofu, tomato, and pepper (not pepperoni), salads of tomato, cucumber,
green and red peppers (but not lettuce, cabbage, or celery), nutbutters
such as almond butter, tahini (a mixture of sesame seed, lemon juice,
and hummus {chickpea paste}, cornbread and muffins.
Industrial Safety–Preventing Industrial Slaughterhouse Accidents:
Health Continued Weight Green Starch:
Dr.Frank Sachs of the Harvard School of Public Health confirms fruits and vegetables are the best.
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals:
The world is evolving toward information and fruitarian
economies and away from industrial and animal based supply systems. The
stockmarket of October 97 gave indication of this.
Neil Sullivan: Institute For Local Self Reliance on the Derek McGinty
Show: People who eat fruit tread most lightly on the earth.
1. HEALTHIEST:
A. VITAMIN C
B. BETA CAROTENE
C. INOSITOL
D. LAURIC ACID
Only fruit has the highest concentrations of vitamin C, the bouncer
of the body, which eliminates toxins and free radicals. Jackie Dewey,
writer for the Los Angeles Times, suggests that we take vitamin C as
Linus Pauling did in crystal rather than pill form so that the stomach
lining is preserved. In addition, all orange and yellow fruits have
betacarotene. Squash is a fruit since it is a vine, tree, or plant
product. Dr. Reginald Cherry, MD, author and host of a Trinity Broadcast
Network show, named after a treefruit, cites research about beta
carotene as a cancer melter.Fruitarian corn has inositol. Coconuts
contain lauric acid, an enzyme uniquely conducive to meditation.
Stephanie Beling, M.D. has written that nuts and seeds contain
healthful lignans, B vitamins, vitamin E, copper, selenium, calcium, and
fiber.
Polysaccharides Help Prevent Diabetes and Promote Biochemical Peace
Fruit has polysaccharides, disaccharides, and mono- saccharides for
the most even energy flow. Fruit sugars, says Marian Burros, syndicated
writer for the Washington Post and then the New York Times, bypass the
pancreas unlike other sugars. Therefore fruitarians are less likely to
contract diabetes, ith its potential blindness, amputation,
cardiovascular problems.
Dr. Ann Wigmore found that patients on raw food could cut their
insulin levels in half. For those who are not ready to become
fruitarian,James Marcus recommends washing out the system once a week
with an all fruit juice or fruit diet.
WEIGHT
Fruitarians, cites Dr. Hardinge in his Harvard research, weigh the
least of the four groups of nonvegetarians, dairy vegetarians, nondairy
vegetarians (vegans) and fruitarians.
Fewest Insecticides
Only fruit is filtered through roots, trunk, branch, stem, leaf,
twig.. each of which protects the fruit from systemic insecticides. Red
meat is the most insecticide-intensive of foods, since a one thousand
pound cow represents 21,000 lbs of food eaten by the animal. These
nonbiodegradable insecticides remain in the animal’s flesh. WCPN
Cleveland Public Radio on August 8 broadcast that in the fruit group
strawberries tend to have higher concentrations of insecticide than
other fruits. You do not have to battle the 300 lethal insecticides used
by Mexico (source of more than half of American winter produce) or
worry about whether food handlers washed their hands.. if you start your
own fruit and nut tree orchards. Neil Sullivan of Institute For Local
Self Reliance: Fruitarians tread more lightly upon the earth.
MOST ADAPTED TO HUMANS
Sri Yukteswar’s book mentions the 36 foot intestinal tracts of
frugivorous or fruitarian human beings.. as opposed to the very short
intestinal tracts of carnivores. A national ad mentions that when John
Wayne died he had 44 lbs. of unprocessed waste in his intestinal tract.
We mean no disrespect to the greatly loved actor and thank him that his
experience can help us. Meat is the hardest on the intestinal tract,
while fruit is the easiest, with bulk which is perfect for peristalsis
and biochemicals which detoxify the blood. Dick Gregory has commented
that flour and mucus foods become plaster like on the intestinal walls,
blocking the flow of blood and oxygen. Fasting and fruit are the best
ways to deplaster the body. (NIH and other research reported on MSNBC
indicates that the killing of carnivores is learned behavior and that
carnivores raised in captivity do not know how to kill, only playing
with their prey). It would seem that Isaiah 65.. the wolf shall lie down
with the lamb.. is possible. Sri Yukteswar also reported that
fruitarians have the least HCL hydrochloric acid in their stomachs, and
that carnivores have much higher concentrations as well as 5 times our
kidney size per pound of body weight.
Natural Fiber
Reginald Cherry, MD, nutritionist for TBN, suggests at least 3
servings of fruit daily. Bran, the husks of seeds and grains, can be
considered fruitarian. National Public Radio in the week of August 4th
reminded its listeners that prune juice is one of nature’s premier
laxatives and that cranberry juice is a natural diuretic. (Check the
labels.. some cranberry juices says Dr. Dean Edell contain a red dye,
cochineal, made from the bodies of insects. It might be the same dye
which made the British Redcoats.. red) An apple a day is good.. but four
apples a day are more likely to keep the doctor away.
VEGETABLE CHRONICLES:
National Public Radio: Fruits are better than vegetables for reduction of heart pressure (they are more yin or more expansive).
LEAST FOOD POISONING HAZARDS:
97% of all food poisoning fatalities (E Coli, anthrax, salmonella,
ptomaine, brucellosis, toxoplasmosis, etc.) are caused by animal flesh
and animal products. Of the remaining 3%, fruit products are more
protected than plants. Fruit’s spherical shape (as compared to lettuce
and cruciferous plants) allows for less possibility of contamination.
(Peeling is recommended). The fewer the people who handle the food the
more pure it is. Fruit grown in your backyard without insecticides is
angel-given.
HIGH POTASSIUM AND ALKALINE FOODS AS A REVERSAL OF ACIDIFICATION
Many diseases come from over acidification of the body. Meat, eggs,
fish, nicotine, coffee have high acid contents. Fruits, even citrus
fruits, are excellent for potassium which offsets sodium and
acidification. Fruits with average levels of potassium include apricots,
peaches, bananas, raisins (l/2 cup), prunes, cantaloupe, figs, dates,
watermelon, and juices such as orange, grapefruit, tangerine, prune.
Fruits in general are alkaline and therefore reverse acidification..
Even citrus has a biochemical change in the body.
MOST DIGESTIBLE
Fruit has the greatest range of texture.. from very soft and ripe to
as hard as a coconut. Ripe fruit is the most easily digestible.. say
Maria Cull and other researchers.
RESTORES ELECTROLYTE BALANCE OF BODY L. GARLIC AND ONIONS:
a.In certain Buddhist and Hindu branches, garlic and onions are
considered tamasic or sleep-inducing. Those who eat them for lunch are
more likely to want an afternoon nap than those who eat foods of light.
b. Onions perhaps make us cry because they don’t want to be cut up.
Deepok Pokharna, a chemist, cites the volatile gases of sulfur. They
become hydrogen sulfide, sulfuric acid and other compounds when in
contact with tears. This is called lachrymation. (The New Scientist the
source for the sulfur statement.)
PREVENTING CALCIUM OXYLATE KIDNEY STONES
Kidney stones are caused by excess calcium (in animal products),
excess oxalic acid (from the cooking of some vegetables, and other
factors. The thin green layer between potato’s brown skin and white
interior when cooked causes oxalic acid, e.g. Fruitarians in general
have the fewest kidney stones. If you like fried potatoes it is better
to cook them in olive oil and to peel them to avoid the oxylates.
A. WHAT ABOUT PROTEIN?
A carnivore has 5 times our kidney size per lb. of body weight and
has adapted more than humans to the elimination of nitrogen and the
processing of ammonia byproducts of meat. Fruitarians use the most
natural sources of protein, which are seeds, nuts, grains, peas, beans
in their thousands of Godgiven natural states and combinations.
(sunflower seeds, green beans, lima beans, sweet peas, corn, almonds,
walnuts, nutbutters such as almond butter, hummus, rice, oatmeal, brazil
nuts, navy beans, pinto beans, lentils, kidney beans, coconut, etc.
B. WHAT ABOUT CALCIUM?
There are 50 milligrams of calcium in a cup of dried raisins. Many
fruits and nuts contain calcium. Fruitarian calcium is easier for the
body to assimilate and is therefore not correlated with osteoporosis.
C. WHAT ABOUT B12?
B12 for animal product consumers is cyanocobalamin. B12 for vegans
and fruitarians is hydroxylcobalamin. Fruitarian B12 is more efficient.
Fruitarians and vegans have more red blood cells per cubic centimeter
than do animal product users. (The research of Dr. Mervyn Hardinge at
Harvard).. Some Red Cross volunteers have commented on the richer reds
and deeper purples of vegetarian, vegan, and fruitarian blood. In
addition, it does not contain white ropes of killer cholesterol.
D. ANATOMICAL INDICATIONS
Sri Yukteswar in The Holy Science describes some of the indications
that humans are frugivorous or fruit eaters and not carnivores. Humans
have the longest intestinal tract. Carnivores have the shortest. Humans
have apple piercing bicuspids not flesh rending fangs. Humans have much
less secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach than carnivores. Carnivores have 5 times our kidney size per pound of body weight.
E.SCIENTIFIC DOCUMENTATION
Dr Irving Fisher at Yale, Dr. Mervyn Hardinge at Harvard, Dr Owen
Parrett of a Canadian hospital, Dr. Colin Campbell of Cornell, Dr. Joan
Ullyot, Sports Medicine physicians in San Francisco, Dr. Michael Klaper,
MD,Dr. Wm Harris of Hawaii are some of the thousands of scientists who
have studied vegetarian and or vegan and fruitarian populations. 300
scientific studies are cited in the back of Dr. Neal Barnard’s book.
F. ENDURANCE ENERGY
Maurice Smith, world champion kickboxer, and McGuire, homerun
champion for 1996, both recommend juicing and drinking many fresh fruit
juices.
G. FRUITARIAN PETS
Dogs do very well on beans and rice. Many dogs are eating slices of
coconut, banana, orange, avocado, apple. The more a dog bonds with his
adopter, the stronger his urge to eat what his adopter eats. Cats have
greater protein needs than dogs, and might require some dairy products
as vegetarians. There are 4 books on vegetarian pets. The company which
makes Nine Lives cat food is adding rice. (Mr. Barky is one of many
brands of vegetarian pet foods.)
H. CLEANSERS
Olive oil is an excellent intestinal cleanser after a fast.
1. IF YOU CRAVE GREEN STARCH:
Eat lima beans, peas. Limas are better than potatoes. Potatoes grow
under the ground. Just as a potato avoids the sunlight, its biochemical
effect on us when we eat them is that we want to avoid the sunlight.
2. MOST FOOD YIELD
Only fruit yields 400,000 lbs. per acre (Source: Dr Faust, former
chief of the USDA Fruit Labs, describing centenarian apple trees
dropping 2 tons each of free food). This yield is multiplied with
tri-level agriculture, with bean and other vines wrapped around the tree
trunks, and other fruit-yielding plants growing interarboreally ( in
the spaces among the trees.) According to WHO, orbiting mirrors can
further multiply fruit production (as well as trellises and poles for
bean and other vines.) This can be compared to the plan of one Chinese
official to double egg production for his 1.2 billion fellow Chinese
which would take the grain from 15 developing nations. May the Chinese
and other nations benefit from the mistakes of the U.S. and not emulate
our heart disease, cancer, environmental devastation.
3. REFORESTATION
Only fruit can reforest the planet. To offset the natural disasters
of record breaking cold springs, drought which created a brown Ireland
in April, floods in Arkansas and Ohio, tornadoes in Texas.. we need the
creation of quatrillion cubic feet of green. To those who say that trees
are renewable resources which can be “harvested” one might respond that
cannibals perhaps see us as delicious renewable resources.
4. NONVIOLENCE
Only fruit is potentially nonviolent.. involving no slaughter and no
theft. Fruit from trees, vines, and plants is the only food Godgiven and
plantgiven. Huge industrial harvesters in hay and corn fields slice and
dice small field mammals.. A green thumb comes to those who love
plants. The plants feel it, and grow more quickly around those who love
them.
WHAT IS A CRESCOGRAPH?
The sentience or feeling of plants has been documented in the
research of many. 100 years ago Chandra Bose was knighted by the Queen
of England for his crescograph, a machine which registers plants’
feelings. The book Secret Life Of Plants documents many research
studies. Clive Baxter and Luther Burbank have demonstrated plant
sentience.
5. FREE FOOD
If one plants a peach or pear seed in 2 minutes in his back yard, and
comes back in a few years, the tree does not charge to give everything
she has.
6. ENERGY FREE PRODUCTION
Fruit is virtually energy in production in its natural state, as
compared to slaughterhouses.. Meat requires veterinary care for the
animal, freezing temperatures in warehouses, trucks, home freezers,
labor intensive care of the animals etc. After slaughter, the animals’
carcasses must be inspected by federal employees, cut up into little
pieces. Even vegetables are often harvested by huge combines or
harvesters which cause some human fatalities yearly in tipovers or fires
and cause slicing or crushing deaths to millions of field mammals and
other creatures
7. ETERNITY
Only fruit contains the seeds of eternity.. as compared to the bones
and grease left from a meat meal, the eggshells left after the bird’s
spirit has flown and her potential body been consumed.
8. MOST CONSCIOUS
Only fruit has high concentrations of neurotransmitters, according to
Dr. Linus Pauling, nonagenarian neurochemist and Nobel Prize winner
twice (perhaps the only person to win two.. in peace and biochemistry).
Second, fruit has the least mucus..and therefore the greatest flow of
oxygenated blood to the brain. Preventing oxygen deprivation through
increased flow of breath can increase the mental function. (Hindus avoid
the use of onions and garlic. It is felt that biochemically they have a
tamasic or sleep-inducing result on the consciousness.) WUAB TV,
Channel 43, reported on Nov 10th, 1997 that several anti-cholesterol
drugs reduce mental alertness (brain function). The natural way to
reduce cholesterol is to reduce animal product consumption.
9… MOST FRAGRANT
Compare the smell of the frightened animals’ sweat in the
slaughterhouse.. their urination in fright.. their defecation in
terror.. and that of the congealing blood as their lives pour out onto
the slippery floors, their necks having met the knife.. compare this to
the smell of creamy apple blossoms
10. MOST TRANSLUCENT
The food nearest to pure light.. a slice of lime held up to the sun
is natural stained glass in a church grove.. Dr. Sidney Perkowitz,
author of Empire of Light, a physics book made easy for the public..
said on National Public Radio July 17, 1997 he would concur with the
view that of all foods fruit was closest to pure light.
11. MOST EFFICIENTLY WRAPPED
Compare the tin cans and glass and cardboard wrappings of other
foods.. to the way God shells the nut, husks the coconut, peels the
banana. a. no human time wasting trash pickup b. no landfill exhaustion
c. no trees killed for packaging d. no energy wasted in recycling plants
12. MOST DECENTRALIZED
Compare the multinational nature of huge meat conglomerates to an
apple orchard.. with her satellite bees, her resident birds and
squirrels *(May, 30 1997 National Public Radio Prof. John D Ruedy of
Georgetown: I agree that the planting of fruit trees would alleviate the
drought and desertifying of N. Africa)
13. MOST BEAUTIFUL
a rainbow of pastel fruit tree blossoms..a mosaic of intense fall harvest
14.. ONLY FREELY GIVEN FOOD
Meat comes from butchered animals. Vegetables comes from sacrificed
plants. Dairy products are stolen. Only fruit is gently and totally
given. Compare the screams of agony in a slaughterhouse.. to the silent
growth in the orchard.. as fruit trees weave and spin the sun into pink
peaches, golden pears, bronze nuts, limes (whose crosssections look like
stained glass when held up to their sire the sun).
15. FIRE PREVENTION
Fruitarian diet prevents the most fires. Just as vegetarians reduce
the meatgrease fire hazard present in restaurants and homes with
buildups of grease in stoves, on the walls, etc., fruitarians because
they cook much less and in some cases not at all.. have the least
incidence of fire.
16. SPIRIT GROUNDING
No matter is needed to ground Spirit. In addition Spirit can manifest
in any being. However, there are optimum diets for the transmission of
Spirit, its grounding, alighting, descent, the Touch Down, just as
platinum wiring is better than copper wiring is better than rusty old
wiring. Fruitarian biochemicals ground God’s lightning. Heavy thoughts
create a desire for heavier food. Light thoughts create a desire for
light food. When one is tired or angry or depressed that is the time for
the greatest discipline. “Expand in response to pain”.
17. PHYSICAL BEAUTY RESTORATION
a. Vitamin C which is most in fruit, second in vegetables, not at all
in dairy, fish, or meat.. firms up the cellular tissue of the body..
firms the connective tissue. b. Fruitarians weigh the least, on average,
of the 4 groups of 1. fruitarians 2. nonvegetarians 3. dairy
vegetarians 4. vegans (cannibals excluded) c. The butyric acid of animal
fat causes the bodies of those who consume it to have an unpleasant
odor. d. The uric acid (pre-urine) in animals’ muscles cells doubles the
sweat load excretion of the body. ——— JBO: So do a lot of celery stalks
around the world send birthday cards to fruitarians? —————-
18. THE BEST FOR BUSINESS
Those with families dependent upon them cannot be Johnny Appleseeds
reforesting the world without recompense. What is the fruit waiting to
make you a multimillionaire? Mott is associated with apples, Minute Maid
and Sunkist with oranges and lemons, Welch’s with grapes, Ocean Spray
with cranberries, Dole with pineapple, Chiqita with bananas, Smucker’s
with fruit jams, etc. Businesses in date sugar, fructose, nut butters,
nut burgers, coconut icecreams, coconut milk, are waiting.. The business
Nantucket Nectars started out in 1993 as a peach juice bottler and in 5
years this business of Tom Scott of Cambridge Mass has become a 60
million dollar business. In the long run, those fruit juices with the
least insecticide, the most environmental bottling, the highest quality,
the best price, the most efficient distribution, the kindest personnel
etc. will do the best. Ethics is good business. Tropicana has begun
producing fruit smoothies. Chicago’s O’Hare Airport features a wonderful
fruit juice bar (which would be wonderful for empty main street slots).
Post has begun advertising a cranberry, pecan, granola breakfast
cereal. One waiting virtually infinite market is juices such as mango
juice, sold in Asian Indian markets. Mangos are very sweet, not acid.
There are some writers who have for money become mongers and pushers of
slaughterhouse byproducts which are a burden to manufacturers. Carloads
of bones, lard, cartilage plague butchers. Those such as Dr. JW, DVM who
seek to market gelatins, shark and chicken cartilage will have to
answer to God. Avocados which fall freely from trees just as apples do
are being sold in some area markets for $2 each. Some avocado orchard
owners a few years ago cut down their trees to keep the market prices
high. May avocado trees grace the front and back yards of billions of
people in warm climates. Coconuts can be shredded, blended, their meat
cut up for chew toys .. their husks used as cups. Their milk can be made
into fruitarian icecream. Their lauric acid (when uncooked) is
conducive to meditation. Their oil is very heat resistant.. CNN reported
Thanksgiving weekend that the hog market is becoming weaker. In Japan
it is environmentally destructive businesses (fishing and lumber) which
are hurting. Everywhere it is businesses involving harm to living things
which are continuing to lose customers as the Genesis 1:29 investors
are doing well. Dole has a delicious new orchard peach frozen juice.
A WORLD OF JOHNNY APPLESEEDS
If one sees a pine cone.. or an acorn.. a peach pit or an apple seed
make a tiny tunnel in Mother Earth.. and plant it that the seed be
freed. It is not necessary to shed the green blood of plants, nor
untimely to rip them from Mother Earth. If onions make us cry, we also
make them cry.. perhaps we do not recognize their tears. Gen. William
Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, wanted the railroad tracks and
public parks of his country lined with fruit trees producing for the
poor.
NONCOOKING
Avoiding cooking prevents the hazards of the microwave, of burns, of
fires, of enzyme destruction, of carcinogens created by heat, the cost
of cooking, the time of cooking and of cleanup, carcinogens in metal
cookware such as aluminum, etc.
A. HEALTH:
C. TIME SAVING: Cooking wastes preparation and cleanup time.
D. FUEL SAVING: Not cooking saves fuel
E. MONEY SAVING in saving fuel costs Macrobiotic teacher Bob Carr
recommends chewing each bite 150 times to increase ptyalin and other
mouth enzymes, to relieve stress on digestive tract, and to relax. Tanya
Siri recommends cutting fruits such as cucumbers into tiny little
cubes.. for the same reason. No longer required is the sweat of the
brow. From Eden we fell.. and now back to Eden all shall rise. The
scriptures of several religions recommend fruitarian diet. Genesis l:29,
the Garden of Eden, for Christians, Jews, Moslems.. the Ramayana for
the Hindus in which Rama is described as eating a fruitarian (phalahari)
diet 14 years in the forest, the writings of Isaiah. There are copious
references to fruit in the Quran. Buddhists whose prayer is “May all t
have life be delivered from suffering” have fruitarianism in the Pali,
Dhammapada, and other sacred texts. Jains whose founder Mahavir preached
reverence for all living beings have fruitarianism in their scriptures
as well.
SCRIPTURES FROM SEVERAL FAITHS:
Genesis 1:29 Behold I have given you herb yielding seed. To you that shall be for meat.
Quran: 2:34 Adam dwell with your wife in paradise and eat of its fruits to your heart’s content.. (except one)
The first avatar of India, Rama, lived in the forest 14 years, eating, says the Ramayana, only fruits and nuts.
John: And the darkness was within the light and comprehended it not.
Bible: Satan is the prince of darkness. (Fruit of all foods is the
closest to light.. then vegetables then dairy.. meat is the densest
darkest food)
Bible: Aaron’s robe was garbed with pomegranates.
Psalms: 104 16-18 The trees of the Lord are watered abundantly.
Jesus in his parable said that we must not harm the weeds lest we harm the fruit-bearing plants growing amongst them.
Catholic vegetarian priest on KDKA of Pittsburgh, hypothesizes that
what Adam ate which caused the fall was not an apple.. but the heart of
the first butchered animal.
Revelation’s 5th angel, it is recounted, wanted no green living thing harmed.
Leonardo Da Vinci’s Notebooks, says Dudley Giehl, indicate he was probably a fruitarain.
When you are at a grocery store, a co-op, a restaurant.. ask the manager to include more vegetarian and fruitarian options.
FASTING:
The Diet which does the least harm: Fasting is common to many
religions: a. The Moslems fast from dawn to dusk during the holy month
of Ramadan. b. The Jews fast on Yom Kippur, the day of atonement c.
Jesus fasted 40 days in the desert. d. Buddha in a state of samadhi
(spiritual ecstasy beyond body consciousness) went without food for many
days. e. Catholic stigmatist Therese Neumann of Germany was a noneating
saint.
FASTING IS THE EATING AND DRINKING OF BREATH.. BREATH IS SPIRIT. BREATH IS ENERGY. BREATH IS PEACE.
Industries affected by a fruitarian world will be meat, dairy, fish,
leather, wool, perfume, soap, television (advertising dollars), gun
manufacturers, newspapers, building trades, lumber etc.
Famous fruitarians include Leonardo da Vinci(as indicated in his
notebooks), Jonathan Chapman ( Johnny Appleseed ), Sri Yukteswar whose
book analyzes the anatomical differences between fruitarians and
carnivores.
HOW TO GROW FRUIT TREES
Stick your finger in the dirt.. scoop out an inch of soil.. put in a
fruit tree seed and cover with dirt. Then wait. Or, as was done with
Isaac Newton’s apple tree offspring in Teddington, take a cutting of a
mature tree.. put it in water.. let it grow roots.. gradually add more
and more dirt through the weeks and months to the water. Then plant. How
to grow avocado trees to take south for planting or to plant in a
greenhouse or a room of glass: Take a seed. Place it half way down in
very wet dirt. Wait. To speed up the process, by yearling or several
year old fruit trees from nurseries. Many nurseries will plant them for
you. We will be adding the addresses of fruitarian groups, and related
issues of preservation.
Fruitarian Network was founded as a committee of American Vegetarians in 1976.
