Watch out for updates on the power of trees and their impact on ecology and economy of Nigeria.

Am With You But If We Are Doing These There Should Be A Place (land) Were Trees Are Planted And Most Of Edible Fruit Trees,perennial,ornamental Trees And So On ! A Place Were Trees Are Preserve (Like A Reserve) A Plot, An Acre It A Starting Point. Think About It Thanks

Treepower2000:

You are on point as if I discussed with you before opening the thread. This is the way we should go in Nigeria; "Projects by like minds" and not some get rich quick schemes that benefits none but the greedy operators.
I will open whatsapp group soon. Land is already secured.

Nice One Am With U Educate Us More Please

Trees or perennial plants will always trump crops anyday anytime.
Out of my research, the highest yielding tree is the wambugu apple which can be planted in Nigeria and and a tree could generate as high as 2,000,000 in its third year. Imagine planting only 100 of it.

Treepower2000:

The wambugu sounds Kenyan. Is it available in Nigeria?

EMMAACHILE:

Yes though I learnt it cost about N8000 per seedling in Ibadan.

310 apple tress can go into 1 acre farmland. This business is a serious gold mine for anyone that ventures into it. So much cash can be made from this in a few years of planting. Have you planted any yet?

EMMAACHILE:

No. Just found out about it few weeks ago. When Buhari's govt is gone, then we will try to establish one.
I think it's best planted in the south where rain is available all year but most be irrigated to achieve maximum yield.

Plants with high yield and serious cash money include
1. Wambugu apple per hectare- 750 trees, potentially 1,500,000 fruits avg 75m to 150m naira per year from third year. Initial setup is high as seedlings is from 7,000.
Farm must be fenced. Only advantage I see is the small land required to generate this revenue.
Life span: 200-400 years
Temp maximum advised is 36c so may not do well in some parts especially the hot areas of the country like the north or middle belt.

2. Moringa seed oil dwarf variety. Could generate between 6-7 tons per hectare and could get upto 3000 litres of oil.
Value is between 6m-9m per year from fourth year and if processed to oil could generate between 27m to 45m depending on time of the year.
Lifespan: 15-45 years

I have read a lot about the wambugu apples but I really want to know if any one has successfully planted and harvested it here in Nigeria. kindly show us pictures.

this apple has been in existence for years, why are Nigerians just learning about it?

op, thanks for opening this thread; I have learnt a lot already

Yes Profit! profit! profit!

namet:
Yes, permaculture and a designed disturbance that facilitates a regenerative, self-sustaining, and circular ecological operation is definitely the way to go. However, those discussing "Wambugu apples" in this forum do so within the context of minimum input cost and quick returns.

Land is limited and expensive, skilled labor hard to find, and equipment and inputs also expensive in Nigeria. So, an investment in time and effort must provide fast returns. A mono specie operation of a high value tree seems the tested model of turning high profit fast. It's why we're talking fast yielding "Wambugu apples."

But, talking quick profits, for some of us, doesn't erase a long term plan of operating a well-diversified Garden of Eden-type food forest that include high and low value tree cum crop cum livestock, with Benin Songhai Farms and Australia's Zaytuna Farms as adaptable models. You Are On Point

nice to read from the wealth of knowledge of you guys
much respect!
let's keep this thread alive

OP I am ready to partner with you in grafting these apple if you want. I am happybrother.
