Given their amazing environmental adaption skills, snake fruit trees become ever more important in the framework of climate change. These trees have proven resistance to shifting weather patterns and can flourish in many microclimes. In mountainous regions, their deep root systems support soil stability and aid to minimize erosion. Agroforestry systems find the trees perfect as they can be combined with other crops to produce sustainable agricultural ecosystems and since they can grow in partial shade. Recent research indicates that some variants can adapt to somewhat different temperature ranges than their natural growing zones, implying possible new locations for agriculture as climate patterns change.
