yes,

A dear I think to replace manure in all cases.
any tree or ramp that produces a significant amount of biomass should be
suitable for mulching.
However the trick he is to find a plant that not only produces a significant
amount of biomass but also provides some secondary or tertiary outputs.
So, for example, comfrey is quite a good one, in its role as a dynamic
accumulator.
there is however no reason the while this mulch should not come from a fruit
bearing plant.
So the real difficulty or challenge is to incorporate multi purpose plants
into every aspect of design.

cheers,
Niels
