Black Coral Inc, in collaboration with Medicine Roots and Speak For The Trees, is celebrating the success of their fruit tree giveaway. Take a look at the joyful Boston residents and remember to register to receive your fruit trees next year!
Black Coral Inc's Fruit Tree Giveaway is concentrating on species that thrive in the local climate, specifically Zone 7 varieties of Apple, Pear, Cherry, and Persimmon Trees. Indigenous fruit trees are crucial for providing essential nutrients that might be lacking in other food sources. They are inherently suited to local soils and climates, can bolster food and nutrition security, and typically withstand environmental stresses more effectively than non-native species.
Sabrina Pilet Jones partnered with Black Coral To bring fruit trees to the urban communities of Boston!
"I find joy in nature and working with soil, plants, and flowers, as I possess a deep affection for these entities. Sharing this enthusiasm with youth, families, and community members through workshops, ceremonies, and safe spaces is something I cherish. I've developed school curriculums for arts and gardening programs, led Garden Wellness Workshops, and provided enjoyable nature walks focused on local plants. Assisting others in discovering gardening is a pleasure for me. My life has been transformed by being an Urban Farmer, and I aim to disseminate food awareness, pollinator education, and cultivation knowledge through engaging, interactive experiences."

Black Coral Inc Volunteer Neeca Wilder waters cherry tree saplings for pre delivery! Boston’s reputation as an epicenter for heirloom fruit dates back to 1623. That was the year European settlers planted their first apple orchard on the land of the Massachusett tribe and Historically Black Community since 1603 in what is now because of early gentrification Boston’s posh Beacon Hill neighborhood. Beacon Hill’s north slope section became home to a large African American population. By the mid-1700s, the African American population in the area around Belnap Street exceeded 1,000. Black Indians are Native American people – defined as Native American due to being affiliated with Native American communities and being culturally Native American – who also have significant African American heritage. This is true of the Massachusett tribe the tribe was decimated by smallpox in 1633 leaving only 3000 survivors many of whom mixed with the African community who had natural immunity thus allowing the bloodlines to survive. It was an enslaved young man named Onesimus who taught Europeans about vaccines as a way to keep people from getting sick.
