Cutting down of albizia tree

[bystander]

I heard the albizia trees were brought here from Fiji or somewhere. They were supposed to be used to make match sticks but that market dried up with the advent of cheap disposable lighters.

Cutting down the young trees does no good because they regrow as someone said. My neighbor showed me a good way to get rid of them. He debarks some of the trunk with a machete. The tree quickly dies and usually doesn't regrow.
