What kills cane grass

[tada]

My point is it's frustrating to try to grow tree seedlings as a method of weed control when the weeds growing so much faster than the trees and maybe even smothering the seedlings on the papaya farm in Kona bought 4 years ago. Though I have planted some faster growing eucalyptus and ironwood because when they mature they repel weeds with a nice impenetrable layer of leaves that's nice and hypo allergenic to sit on. But only 5 of these trees surviving with my 90% attrition rate. I have a nice a foot high avocado tree and planted more seeds. So we see what they look like when I go back since I'm only there 2 months a year.

I'm so desperate for more trees I planning to sweep up the mess the monkeypod trees shed every spring and lay it down on the perimeter of the property. In Honolulu they have sprawling monkeypod trees make a nice centerpiece on an expanse of green lawn. In Kona some monkeypod below Kealakehe High school on the new Ane K highway.


I'm planning for the future growing trees. It's going to be beautiful. I hope I live long enough to see it??
