Mollison recently mentioned that in Tuscanny Italy
the grapes are grown in the same hole as a
support tree such as the elm
But he didn't mentioned which Elm species???
Do you know -
Also - what other trees can be used
The Elm supports and protects the grapes from
fire so the theory goes, in classical Greece they used
Mulberry. What else can be used or is in use???
