The chainsaws will hum.

While I like the idea of taxing "albizia owners" a lot, chainsawing albizia is a very, very bad idea. All they do is re-sprout with multiple branches which makes girdling futile.
Whereas if you properly girdle an albizia that has not been cut, they die with 90% certainty, we seldom had to go back and re-girdle.
