Padre Park along the Mission Reach section of the San Antonio River Walk is filling up with trees that will provide fresh foods for residents.
“We have pecans, figs, mulberries, plums, pears, loquats, persimmons. And in the future, we think we’re going to have all sorts of other things. Jujubes. There’s going to be Moringas. There’s going to be a lot of different black walnuts and interesting other crops that the community wants,” said Mitch Hagney, co-founder of the Tamox Talon Food Forest Project.
This is part of the Tamox Talon Food Forest Project that was initiated by the Food Policy Council of San Antonio.The nonprofit began planting the trees in February. “A single tree can produce 2,000 pounds of food. So if one tree can do that, imagine what over 100 can do on a publicly accessible park,” Hagney said.
Hagney said the city’s Office of Innovation gave $25,000 for the project and several donors have contributed.“We think that those trees provide great environmental services. They help water infiltration and they are really delicious. And they’re going to be able to feed a lot of people for a long time,” Hagney said.
