kukui age for bearing nuts

[JayJay]

Not planning a commercial venture myself but just observing... because I'm strictly small-scale permaculturally based. I've come to realize how rapidly an 'orchard' of these trees could be established by simply constructing rock-lined beds, filling with cinder at the bottom and then guava leaves on top (which can be raked up... using a light weight leaf rake with metal fingers) and then completing the construction of the bed with guava leaves. The heat produced during decomposition seems to be ideal for the nuts to grow in as they start 'popping up' all through the bed poducing small trees which could either be directly transferred into orchard rows or potted for later use. Of course during the construction of the bed the nuts must be inserted - lol! Four years seems about right Doctor and they do respond well to osmocoting.
