Farming ( Archived) (86)

I do live in Tropical zone ' only tropical and subtropical species can be successful here ' Fiir is a beautiful tree but isn't suitable for our climate

I have sekected some species according our climate including Eucalyptus , palouwnia , Neem and and other soft wood trees

Neem has many features , its nectar is used to protect crops from many kind of pest

Yeah, I've been seeing Ali posting here for years; and I agree with you.

It's just that Hawaii is being bulldozed so fast; and our forests are full of things that don't live anywhere rules on earth...

But so many people come here, and clear every tree off of their land!

One woman was telling us... "Some day you'll be able to stand here (miles from the water, the middle of the rain forest) and see the ocean."

That was her vision for the rain forest that I love.

There aren't many people who are devoted to saving our forests; and now the ohia trees are dying off...

I believe they're dying; because they're sad.

I've seen people leave a few ohia's on their land, and they fall over, without the root system of the other trees to help support them.

Our soil isn't as healthy without our ohia trees. Just like in the Amazon, the soil is shallow, and when they cut down the natural trees, the soil washes away.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

As one of the few people I know who's dedicated most of their land to preserving the natural Hawaiian ohia forest, I felt like it was important to be a Lorax, and speak for the trees.

we have all kind of Hybrids , GMO is usually successful in Corn production and Corn is not primary crop here
