Hello
« on: November 29, 2019, 06:55:25 AM »
Hi all, I have not posted or been on this forum for a few years. When Hurricane Irma hit in 2017 it washed away all my trees. When I returned there was nothing left but a stump from my breadfruit tree that someone cut down and a small patch of Saba bananas. It has taken me a few years to rebuild my house but now that I am finished I am starting again.

Damn Irma, took my Mexican Tree Spinach too.  That thing was always crazy loaded with butterflies and honey bees.

Good luck, sounds like you have fun times ahead.

Much respect for your resilience and tenacity.
Best of luck with your next plant out.
I’d be glad to send seeds or cuttings for free if I have anything you want to grow.

Very happy that you got your house back in shape.  I have to ask the obvious questions.  Don't you worry about sea level rise and how it will affect your location and plans?  Are you experiencing any effects so far?

Glad you are bouncing back after Irma. I can see her marks still all over my yard. Have a large in ground jabo growing at a 70 degree angle, gave up on straightening her out. She will remain windblown.

They were doing a lot of underground utility work and got a good deal on 60 yards of dirt

A great comeback, you cannot keep a good man down.  Same for Fruitlovers with his Hawaiian volcanoes and corrosive, poisonous gasses venting.
