If you could plant just one tree to help your homestead survive if civilization were to fail which would it be?
I'm going to say a pecan tree, pecans are high in calories, nuts in general keep a long time, and pecans also have the most antioxidants of nuts.
Of the non-nut trees the one that comes to mind is an avocado. Probably the most calorie dense non-nut fruiting tree you can grow, and, calorie density aside, are incredibly healthy. Not sure on long term storage though.
