"iPlantTrees - kind of tree sharing. You want a plant, post location."

the secondary market here is you search by tree and find fruit/seeds/nuts. A more generic, iPlant would also show vegetables/crops and hook this up to seasonal sales.



That's brilliant. Would definitely add it. Thanks for the suggestion!!


"show vegetables/crops and hook this up to seasonal sales"

I've been noticing the market for local fresh food is pretty big. If you have a system that decentralises the growing it could used as a peer to peer sales or arbitrage where people buy others and re-sell.

As for the iPlantTrees, yes... This is what has been done in my hometown, Melbourne ~ http://melbourneurbanforestvisual.com.au


The Melbourne site is fantastic. Lot of useful data presented in the a very digestible manner. Haven't seen such info on any US ones so far. I have reached out to them to see if there is room for knowledge sharing.
