There is an old saying that goes, “The best time to plant a tree is 10 years ago.” This holds especially true for trees that someday may save your life in the event of a crisis or disaster.
The next best time to plant a tree, of course, is right now.
But, what should you plant?
Below is a list of trees that are especially important for food and other survival uses, based on the amount of calories they can supply, how well they store, and how long they take to produce. http://www.offthegridnews.com/extreme-survival/5-survival-insurance-trees-every-homesteader-should-plant/

No citrus trees of any kind listed? Pretty tough to beat citrus in terms of nutritional value, especially vitamin C.

Scurvy anyone?

Citrus won't grow up here.
