This seems like a pretty darn good tree to have ... sorth of a "superfood," with lots of vitamins/minerals as well.
Good info for us Desert valley folks.
Anyone else catch it has a high level of selenium?
Selenium is one of those minerals my goats have to have to be healthy. Where I am at we have a low moderate rate so I have to supplement my goats with products that contain that certain mineral, like spinach. Since my ground is not up to par in that mineral, whatever I grow will also be lacking from its potential so I have to supplement more for them to get the levels they need. Yes they have a free choice of loose minerals designed for goats but I would much rather they get it from the foods they eat naturally.Selenium can be toxic. It doesn't take much either. You can get too much just by eating five Brazil nuts (500mcg). The symptoms of mild selenium poisoning are hair loss, fatigue, neurological damage, gastrointestinal disorders, and garlic breath. Higher levels of selenium poisoning can result in liver cirrhosis, pulmonary edema and even death.
