Hello everyone, this is Kumar again. I fanlly had a chance to walk the 1 acre land I purchased in HPP on 10th. The lot has several beauthful native trees including Ohia tress (surprisingly still doing very well - considering the fungus issue on the island). The land is mostly flat with few dips and vallies here and there. However, it is covered in thick Uluhue fern, from 3 feet tall to 7 feet tall. I want to clear the fern on parts of the land without harming the trees in any way. Once I can see the ground clerly, I can do other planting and planning for a structure.
Does anyone have good practical ideas for removing the ferns without needing to bulldoze, plow/rip the land (as that would risk the beautiful trees--something I want to avoild)? I would really appreciate it.
Also, I plan to only remove the ferns only on a part of the lot, areas where I want to build, plant and put a drive way through. The other areas I would leave them (ferns) there as they are beautiful part of the landscape of hawaii and a natural protection from the invasive plant species.
Thank you in advance.
