Owing to high levels of deforestation, native food-bearing trees such as the Masuku are becoming increasingly rare in Malawi and across East Africa.<\/p>\n<p>Recent work hopes to reverse this trend. Swirah is one of 40 people who participated in workshops earlier this year to share knowledge and questions about the use of Indigenous food trees in landscape restoration work, an area where they have so far been underutilized. Organized by University of Copenhagen postdoctoral fellow Emilie Vansant, the workshops identified the main challenges to integrating Indigenous food trees into the East African landscape, where tree-planting initiatives often focus on fast-growing, non-native timber species. These findings are summarized in a <a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/pnasnexus\/article\/5\/6\/pgag156\/8713054#565980431\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external\">paper<\/a> published in June.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_328097\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-328097\" src=\"https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/08\/31223745\/6.Lilongwe_workshop.jpg\" alt=\"An agroforestry tour during a workshop at the Permaculture Paradise Institute in Lilongwe, Malawi.

The vast majority of these are fruit trees like the masuku plum, though many have multiple edible or medicinal products, such as the African custard-apple (<em>Annona senegalensis<\/em>), which bears edible fruit, flowers that can be used as a spice and leaves that can be cooked like a vegetable. Another species included was the marula (<em>Sclerocarya birrea<\/em>) which has high-protein seeds inside its edible fruits that can be ground into flour or pressed into oil.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_328098\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-328098\" src=\"https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/08\/31223747\/Sclerocarya-birria-Mette-Jeppesen.jpg\" alt=\"This page from the guide details how to care for and harvest fruit from marula trees (Sclerocarya birrea).

One of the biggest challenges came with simply helping these trees survive: Their seeds tend to have a very narrow window of time during which they\u2019re viable and the trees themselves only survive in a limited set of environmental conditions. The new tree-planting guide serves as a start, but practitioners are still lacking much species-specific information, Vansant said.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the practitioners shared that there are few commercial outlets where they can sell the products of these native trees, which lowers their financial value compared to more marketable products such as non-native timber. This last factor is an important one for many farmers. Indigenous trees\u2019 specific needs and the fact that they grow much slower make them more risky than commercial species bred for hardiness and productivity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t see people saying no to Indigenous food trees on principle, but when time and money is involved, that\u2019s a major challenge,\u201d Vansant said. \u201cCreating market opportunities is one way to address the longer time and labor prospects associated with these species.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_328045\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/08\/31165751\/Egongo_Sclerocarya_birrea-2.jpg\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-328045\" src=\"https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/08\/31165751\/Egongo_Sclerocarya_birrea-2.jpg\" alt=\"Marula fruit (Sclerocarya birrea) are prized for their high vitamin C and protein content\" width=\"768\" height=\"1027\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/08\/31165751\/Egongo_Sclerocarya_birrea-2.jpg 768w, https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/08\/31165751\/Egongo_Sclerocarya_birrea-2-610x816.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Marula fruit (<em>Sclerocarya birrea<\/em>) are prized for their high vitamin C and protein content and are used to make juice, jellies and oil, and are eaten fresh or their kernels roasted.

Nils McCune, an agroecology researcher at the University of Vermont not involved with Vansant\u2019s study, has worked with community-based agroecology projects all over the world.<\/p>\n<p>Two projects he has worked with were in Ghana and included processing facilities for locally grown baobab (<em>Adansonia digitata<\/em>), a native fruit that has recently grown in popularity around the world. The facilities have been successful in creating valuable products from every part of the baobab, but most importantly, McCune said, the entire process is managed by the community. The money generated returns to that community as profit for farmers, salaries for working in the processing facility and access to credit and loans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe idea of generating an economic surplus, or generating an income stream, should somehow be tied to community control,\u201d McCune told Mongabay over a Zoom call. This helps guard against outside interests which can warp well-meaning initiatives into focusing on only the final product, rather than the community \u2014 plant, animal and human \u2014 that it supports, he said: \u201cMost economic textbooks only see one product looking at a coffee farm, for example, not the migratory birds and insects and other stuff that rely on it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vansant said most communities in Malawi aren\u2019t yet at the level of figuring out this structure, though she has heard of promising first steps taken by workshop participants already. One government botanist and forester let her know that he had been using the tree-planting guide to hold workshops on how to collect, process and store Indigenous seeds. Josie Redmonds, a workshop participant who runs the community nonprofit ButterflySpace, has been integrating the trees from the guide into tree-mapping lessons for local teachers, so that children in Malawi will grow up knowing their native species.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_328037\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/08\/31165119\/Baobab_-_seeds_from_one_fruit_Adansonia_digitata.jpg\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-328037\" src=\"https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/08\/31165119\/Baobab_-_seeds_from_one_fruit_Adansonia_digitata.jpg\" alt=\"A mature African baobab fruit (Adansonia digitata) \" width=\"676\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/08\/31165119\/Baobab_-_seeds_from_one_fruit_Adansonia_digitata.jpg 676w, https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/08\/31165119\/Baobab_-_seeds_from_one_fruit_Adansonia_digitata-610x650.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 676px) 100vw, 676px\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A mature African baobab fruit (<em>Adansonia digitata<\/em>) can contain more than 150 seeds, which are used for food, oil, livestock feed and cosmetics.

Swirah and his team were working to integrate more Indigenous species before the workshops, including training local communities on how to collect and save local seeds. The tree-planting guide created by Vansant\u2019s team has provided his team with resources to tailor their techniques to better fit different species. Since the workshop, he\u2019s also been focused on how WeForest can use these trees to create opportunities for the communities it works with.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I am really looking for is funds to put much more effort into this, and upscale the promotion of indigenous trees on a larger scale, so that the communities can be self-reliant and benefit from the sales of these fruit trees,\u201d Swirah said. Already, he sees opportunities in selling native fruits to local wineries and breweries and is keenly aware that the time to act for the environment and local communities is now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we can start doing this now, we can do much more now from where we are,\u201d he said. \u201cWe will not stop: it is in my heart to be promoted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Banner image:<\/strong> A chacma baboon (<\/em>Papio ursinus<em>) enjoys a marula fruit (<\/em>Sclerocarya birrea<em>).
