In this episode, we delve into the fascinating and thought-provoking world of trees and agroforestry with Nick Dunn, Managing Director of the renowned Frank P Matthews Nursery. With decades of experience in horticulture, Nick shares his insights into why embracing non-native trees might hold the key to climate resilience and how agroforestry could revolutionise the way we balance biodiversity and productivity.

We also explore the critical role of flavour in tree breeding. Are we sacrificing taste in favour of high-yield, supermarket-friendly varieties? Nick makes the case for "flavour-first" breeding and explains why it matters now more than ever.

From practical tips on planting and nurturing trees to a frank discussion about the challenges of integrating livestock with agroforestry, this episode offers fresh perspectives for growers, gardeners, and anyone passionate about the future of sustainable food systems.
