The best time to plant trees is now in late summer, early fall, when fruit is all over the place.
If you plant trees when food is not plentiful in the jungle, the pigs will dig up everything you plant looking for worms. They may even eat what you plant.
When fruiting season ends, let the weeds cover your planting until fruiting season again. A manicured planting site is a red carpet for pigs. Established plantings will be fine under the weeds, and when you finally mow they make great mulch. Find them again with a leaf rake.
Wild pigs are a big issue in Puna if you are trying to grow anything.
