For ten years I ran a small educational institution which was befriended by the brilliant scientist Dr. Raymon Wright in Jamaica West Indies. Wright, a geologist and head of the Petroleum Corporation of Jamaica at one time, had an experimental plot of fast growing trees , Lucena and others suitable for coppicing for charcoal.. The trouble with trees programs ( speaking as one who helped establish a mango orchard of 32 varieties and development of one great variety) is that planting the tree first 1. Requuires health, stamina, good nutrition and hydration. Hardly a recipe found in Haiti at this time. 2. Requires water and nourishment, not only for the planter, but for the plant. 3. To sustain the tree you must sustain the farmer, and reward the farmer for keeping the tree alive. A bonus at the successful life of the plant in year 2 or 3. Enjoyed your blog.
