What a Falca! Falcataria moluccana or Falcataria falcata that is. Calling them Albezia is one of Hawaiis biggest misnomers. Best of the worst invasive's, nitrogen fixing, topsoil builder, shade tree. Just sucks when it falls on you. Aloha!
i bet that tree was only 15 years old! they grow so fast here! yeah bummer about the salak, but i do have like 20 more in my nursery and can always get more seed. well just have to mulch the new ones extra heavy to give them a little boost! Ive got a stihl ms250 as the big saw. its so incredible the way it just eats wood. makes me wish my little echo saw was more powerful haha. but man i was sore for 2 days after we were finished, muscles arent used to using that heavy machine
@@tropicagroforestryspencerjulie Yeah I run an MS250 as well, definitely a beast but wears you out! Hope you can get those other big Albizias managed sooner rather than later. Loving the videos btw, y'all are growing some really interesting stuff, can't wait to see how things develop over the years.
thanks for the support! weʻre really trying to boost the agroforestry education here. and we are also trying to create a farming model based off these types of systems to convince others that it can be economically viable. thats why we are growing the things we love, but also have major marketability, some of them being extremely high valued crops. the experiment is well on its way!
Tremendous amount of work guys!! This should yield wild fertility soon🌳☀️ Really impressive tree!!
these trees break down really quickly! so the fertility will boom!
Subsribed to your channel. Really like what you guys are doing
thanks! we really appreciate it!
hope your durians made it.

Gracias

Wow what a massive tree! Bummer on the Salaks but I'm sure y'all will bounce back even better going forward. What 18" saw are you running btw?
