ellyssian- Agroforestry Research Trust - UK-based site on temperate agroforestry research
- Edible Forest Gardens - mostly a site about a set of books (which are on my Amazon wishlist! =), but with additional resources and links; one of the few that is not focused on the UK, where permaculture has been a bit more popular
- Fruit Facts - as advertised, fact sheets on fruiting trees and shrubs
- Plants for a Future - UK-based site with numerous resources - actually, my first experience with agroforestry was through their site; the book of the same name is exceptional, and is available (in the US) for an exceedingly affordable price from The Rodale Institute Store
Vendors
- Forest Farm - although shipping can be expensive, their plants - including many rare and hard-to-find varieties - are of the highest quality, and their packaging is the work of caring craftsman and not of the stuff-it-in-a-box variety
- Raintree Nursery - I haven't ordered from these folks, but many of the things Plants for a Future lists as edibles I heard of first because Raintree sells them; they actually specialize in unusual edibles
General Resources
- The Tree - tree and forest information, centered on the UK
- PA Native Plants - a forum of the Pennsylvania Native Plant Society; includes a section on identifying PA plants
- Arbor Day Message Board - a forum of the National Arbor Day Foundation; includes a section on tree identification, and frequented by several incredible tree experts, particularly saccharum and Red Maple - when those guys talk, best to listen and learn!
