Kenep Fruit Seeds

This is Kenep/Genips fruit (Milicocus bijigatus) a very popular and nutrtious food in Haiti this time of year. We're excited to start planting from the seeds pictured here.

Kenep trees can grow up to 85 feet tall, and sturdy enough that storms won't easily knock them over. Their leaves also grow fast, so even after a storm, if leaves fall off, they'll grow and return shade to the area.

For agroforestry, they are great for honey making from bees. Many locals produce and sell wine with kenep fruit as well.
