Yes sir my lot is made up of large rocks and pahoehoe lava... I just brought down a bunch of years worth of waiawi, albizia, gunpowder tree, etc. that have been whittling away at the strength of the lava crust.
My lot is very uneven. There are large rocks everywhere (most covered by a thin layer of soil) and they naturally create "planters" or nice size holes for me to fill in and plant. This doesn't guarantee that I can put my trees exactly where I want all of them, but for the holes that I need to work on I'll build up or dig as deep as possible (or both). I'll be filling holes with rotting wood debris(hugelkultr like) and whatever media I end up hauling to my property.
I feel like a broken record but I appreciate all the responses. I've been busy lately so I haven't had the time to reply.
I suspect I'll be able to fit around 7-10 fruit trees in my area and the list looks like this:
- 2x Mango
- Avocado
- Lychee
- Breadfruit
- Orange
- Mangosteen
- Jaboticaba
Other trees in consideration/for other areas:
Abiu
Noni
Rollinia
Soursop
Lemon
Lime
Tangerine
Papaya
Coconut
Windbreak/Nitrogen-fixing/Misc. etc.:
Neem
Koa
Milo
Kamani
Ice Cream bean
Mother of Cacao
Moringa
Ohia(natural)
I suspect if I need to choose more or less I'll do that in time. I've still a lot of reading to do about the list above...
Aloha
