Current Species List For My Permaculture-ish Garden (Updated 2/2023)

This is a list of edible species (as well as non-edibles I find useful) that I am growing in my developing permaculture-ish plot (Temperate climate, USDA Zone 8, Washington State, USA) which includes a small property of my own as well as two neighboring properties belonging to family members.

Looking over this list it would seem that I could feed myself with this, but in reality many of these plants are still in their early stages of establishment, and not all of them are highly productive... In addition to this list there are other edible species naturally present on the property which are not included since they do not offer any meaningful production at this time.

KEY:

🍇 = producing very good quantities each year
🍒 = producing lightly each year (either from lack of maturity or lack of capability)
🌱 = acquired, but have not yet planted out
All unmarked have been planted, but are not yet producing
⚒ = potentially on the chopping block for removal for one reason or another.

Rosaceae

Apples (Malus domestica & hybrids):

*🍇'Centennial' (Crab) - Highly productive of large crabs good for fresh eating, but I find they seem at their best slightly before they appear fully ripe. Make a nice soft mushy pickle when preserved in salt brine that is a useful addition in cooking. Fruit seems pest prone due to thin skins and soft flesh.
*'Winter Banana' - Grafted at the top of the 'Centennial' tree.
*🍒Columnar - Not sure which one... Either North Pole or Scarlet Sentennal. The deer keep eating it...
*🍒'Evereste' (Crab) - Highly ornamental and productive crab that is good for cooking.
*🍒'Liberty' - Highly disease resistant red apple.
*'Wolf River' - Extremely large red streaked apple which I grafted onto a wild volunteer seedling apple.
*'Ellisons's Orange' - An offspring of the famous English Cox's Orange Pippin.

Medlar (Mespilus germanica):

*'Macrocarpa' - My favorite tasting variety.  I top worked it onto my 'MdE' that had inferior fruit.

Hawthorn (Crataegus sp.)

*Washington Hawthorn (C. phaenopyrum) - Flowers make a pleasant tea.
*Tejocote (C. mexicana) - Yellow fruited form

*Azarole (Crataegus azarolus) - two seedlings grown from the cultivar 'Angelo Rosso'.  I'm not sure if this is the correct species based on image searches...

Service Berry (Amelanchier alnifolia):

*🍇'Regent' - a stoloniferous variety that flowers and fruits havily. I strongly suspect that although listed as A. alnifolia, it is quite likely to be either A. stolonifera or a hybrid.

*🍇Cherry Plums (P. cerasifera) - Non-native volunteer with each tree having slightly different flavor and overall quality. Some with deep purple/red leaves and some with green leaves. Fruit small, but abundant. Some specimens tend to bear biannually.
*'Johann's Myrobalan' (P. cerasifera) - Name worthy selection found along a roadside, this specimen has heavy production (every year) of small, dense/meaty, good flavored plums that are great for fresh eating even before fully ripe which gives them a longer season of harvest for fresh eating. I've rooted cuttings, planting one for myself and have shared with a couple others for further evaluation.
*🌱Sweet Cherry 'Compact Stella' (P. avium)
*🍒Sour Cherry (P. cerasus), 'Surefire' - Highly disease resistant cultivar with tart fruit that still has enough sugar for fresh eating or cooking.

Mushrooms:

*🍇Honey Mushrooms (Armillaria sinapina) - Wild, seasonally abundant. Best fresh, but abundant harvests can be dried for later use.

*🍇Artist's Conk (Ganoderma applanatum) - Very abundant.  Useful for teas or stocks, but too woody to actually eat directly.

Animal Products:

*🍇Meat (Ovis aries, 'Piebald' sheep) - Help manage the land and the annual harvest of meat from the lambs is the dominant form of meat in my diet these days.
*🍇Wool (Ovis aries, 'Piebald' sheep) - In the past the wool has been so full of thorns and such that I haven't bothered with it, but as the land gets more tame the workability of the wool is improving. This year I bought a spinning wheel and was able to make some cozy cold weather hats as well as some dish cloths/hot pads for kitchen use. Interested in doing more...
*🍒Fat (Ovis aries, 'Piebald' sheep) - The lambs don't have much fat, but occasionally I harvest an older sheep and it will have enough fat to save for soap making.
*Eggs (duck)

*🍒Honey (Apis melifera) - Delicious, and I'm finally getting the hang of keeping them around. The key seems to be to just provide housing for local bees rather than purchasing and bringing in bees from elsewhere.
*🍒Wax (Apis mellifera) - As a byproduct of honey harvesting I get a bit of bees' wax which I have found useful here and there. I've used it to seal terracotta saucers as well as to make wood treatments.
