A "superfood" that is expensive to buy, they seem good for this list.
I went to Growing Value Permaculture Nursery in Cincinnati looking for nitrogen fixing shrubbery, and I found them, but my wife found the Aronia.
She liked that they don't mind standing in water.
We have that at our yarden, so we bought two for the yarden, but I've not had time to plant them (I'll need a pick axe,such is the soil).
They are sitting in the shade,in a dishpan of water, visibly thriving!

This is all just my opinion based on a flawed memory

Red Alder: You can tap it, but supposedly doesn't taste good. Leaves and catkins are also technically edible. Haven't tried them yet.

Grafting them or buying grafted trees is worth the expense. Grafted trees produce nuts 5-10 years sooner and a named variety of northern pecan will have bigger nuts. We don’t like thin shelled southern pecans as well here. Our pecans have a higher oil content and more flavor. People from farther south may disagree. Of course, if you’re too far south for northern varieties, then southern varieties will be better. I don’t know if they like wet soils or not. I think some varieties are from Texas and might like it dryer.

Pecans generally need to much heat to do well in PNW. Down south, it's hot all day and all night for half the year at least. Not so here.

In Tacoma, WA opposite the St. Joseph Hospital the street is lined with pecan trees. The produce abundantly and the nuts mostly just spout in the gutter. I brought some home to transplant but never got them to where they were supposed to be.
So with climate change toward hotter dry er summers and if you are above the fog I think the Pecans are viable. I hope to try again.

Examine your lifestyle, multiply it by 7.7 billion other ego-monkeys with similar desires and query whether that global impact is conscionable.
