Eradication Strawberry Guava (leaf gall)

[rbakker]

I haven't seen first hand what strawberry guava is doing to the native forests but it sure is taking over my back yard. It's hard work cutting it down (and it grows back astonishingly fast from the stumps) but well worth it because the coqui seem to prefer it and the guavas attract clouds of fruit flies which the coqui may well be snacking on.

I also heard that the hiker who had to be rescued by helicopter near the prison a week or two ago couldn't make his own way out because he was surrounded by guava trees!
