Rubber tree (used for the production of plastic products) and palm tree rank highest among Esan trees. The land's variety of fruits range from mango, orange, grape, pineapple, guava, cashew, banana, plantain, black pear, avocado pear, lime to walnut and even more. Cassava, yam, cocoa yam, sweet potato, pepper, okra and rice are some of its farm produce. It has numerous streams that are too small to afford fishing.
Beyond all of the agricultural products listed above are numerous edble fruits and plants without Englis name. "ORURU" for example, seems to belong to the berry family. Purple or violet in colour as the specie maybe, is a very delicious fruit, common at the beginning of the dry season, which formerly comes up in late September/October yearly, But dew to climate change,(that is REAL here in Esan) these month are no longer gaurrranteed. A lot more research work is needed in the areas of available fruits and plants, animals, inscets, birds etc. in Esanland.
