Sustainable Development: Huge, old mango tree for sale
http://sustaindevelopment.blogspot.com/2015/07/huge-old-mango-tree-for-sale.html
Some notes in forest farming, agriculture and terraces building. Saturday, July 18, 2015. Huge, old mango tree for sale. How big in terms of diameter at breast height (dbh), I don't know, I did not bring a measurement device, but it would require about three men to hug the tree. Below, our farm caretakers, Nong Endring Paragas and his son, Danny. There are many huge branches at the top, but some of them are already dead/rotting and some are dying, can no longer sustain even few leaves. June 12, 2007.

Sustainable Development: Natural Regeneration of Trees
http://sustaindevelopment.blogspot.com/2013/02/natural-regeneration-of-trees.html
Some notes in forest farming, agriculture and terraces building. Thursday, February 21, 2013. Natural Regeneration of Trees. My usual advice to some young or new environmentalists who are so gung ho in "regreening" denuded mountains is that they do not have to plant so many trees in these areas. Trees being part of nature, are capable of growing and regenerating by themselves even without human intervention and "massive tree planting". We clear and remove these small and new seedlings from time to time a...
