Tagasaste or Tree Lucerne, boasts a myriad of benefits in permaculture and garden settings. Its nitrogen-fixing capacity enhances soil fertility, while the deep taproot aids in soil aeration and water infiltration, contributing to improved overall soil health. This perennial plant serves as valuable livestock forage, offering a sustainable feed source. Tagasaste's dense growth pattern acts as an effective windbreak, preventing soil erosion and providing a favorable environment for other plants. With its copious flowers attracting pollinators, Tagasaste supports bee populations, aligning with the principles of biodiversity.
