Supportive species
We can provide propagating material – cuttings and banana pups – fast-growing species, essential to a healthy agroforestry system
Melon Pear || Pera-melão
Solanum muricatum
price on request
€
A fast-growing and extremely productive, sprawling evergreen sub-shrub, prized for its heavy yields of juicy, refreshing fruits that taste like a sweet blend of melon and pear. It's an outstanding ground cover for backyard gardens and syntropic projects alike, rapidly blanketing the soil to retain moisture while generating substantial, continuous biomass.
Mexican Sunflower
Tithonia diversifolia
price on request
€
An indispensable, ultra-fast-growing pioneer species for syntropic agroforestry, working as a powerful biomass engine and nutrient recycler. Its extensive root system draws up phosphorus and potassium from deep in the soil, while its strong tolerance for frequent chop-and-drop management delivers a continuous pulse of nutrient-rich, rapidly decomposing mulch to the crop lines. Left to grow freely, it rewards the system with an abundant explosion of nectar-rich yellow blooms that attract and support local pollinators.
Whortleberry || Groselha-dos-Açores
Vaccinium cylindraceum
price on request
€
An invaluable native Azorean shrub with an exceptional survival rate and strong resilience against the region's harshest winds and weather. It propagates easily from cuttings, making it a practical, cost-effective choice for building dense boundary hedges or permanent, wind-resistant agroforestry treelines. Grows up to 5 meters tall with a dense, erect, bushy habit.
Banana Pups
Musa acuminata / Musa balbisiana hybrids
10
€
Bananas are the ultimate powerhouse of syntropic agroforestry — living water reservoirs and unmatched biomass engines that naturally feed and hydrate your entire crop line. Our farm-hardened banana pups are harvested with clean, robust corms, guaranteeing an exceptionally high survival and establishment rate in your system. Whether you choose our wind-resistant Commercial Short variety, the tall and tangy Banana Prata, or our exotic, premium Red Banana, these pups will rapidly accelerate the succession and fertility of your land.
Elephant Grass Hybrid || Capim-Bana
Pennisetum purpureum × Pennisetum glaucum
price on request
€
Bana Grass is one of the most foundational pioneer plants in syntropic agroforestry — an ultra-fast-growing hybrid that serves as a high-output biomass engine for tree lines and as a windbreak. Being a hybrid, it's completely sterile and can't spread by seed, so it stays safely clumped while providing massive, continuous volumes of premium, carbon-rich mulch to accelerate soil regeneration and retain water.
