Authored By: J. L. Chamberlain, M. Predny, R. Griffiths

We organize NTFPs into four major product categories: 1) edible and culinary, 2) specialty wood, 3) floral and decorative, and 4) medicinal plants and dietary supplements. The following sections provide information on some of the products within each category.

For definitions of botanical terms used in the plant descriptions, see the Glossary of Botanical Terms by Garden Web.

A map of USDA Hardiness Zones can be found at the National Arboretum website.
