Aloha kākou! Tell us what videos you want to see in the comments below!!

[@majoyap3403]

I'm Filipino and yet there's no Filipino tutorial on how to effectively propagate this. Thanks for this very informative video😊

[@EatAndBeEatenHAWAII]

Glad you found it useful!

[@delvillanueva6685]

Go up North luzon...Ilocos (Region 1 and 2) they know the use of madre cacao..kakawate....and its propagation...

[@nunyabiznes33]

From what I understand they just chop and stick it into the ground.

Best mulching and organic agriculture purposes

[@EatAndBeEatenHAWAII]

Agreed. Thanks for writing in!

[@PatrickMalasa-ew5sb]

May you help line for one officer for comaco

[@mark907]

Actually too many leaves still left on those cuttings. Should be just the top few.

[@friend8069]

Hi
Can we make fermented plant juice from the gliricidia leaves ?

[@EatAndBeEatenHAWAII]

Never heard of anyone doing that before but I donʻt see why not. Thanks for watching.

[@rowenadinsmore1]

Can you grow them form seeds? I don't know where to look for cuttings here in Florida.

[@EatAndBeEatenHAWAII]

Yes, can also grow from seeds and in fact they develop a stronger root system when grown from seed so if you can that is a great option.

[@peaceandlove5214]

Thanks for your great videos and I want to ask about the age of your Gliricidia trees in this video?how fast they can grow?

[@EatAndBeEatenHAWAII]

Thanks, the tree is about 1-2 years old in this video. They grow fast!

[@emdpekanayaka1134]

I can export GLIRICIDIA fertilizer

[@marianunez7715]

Hi. I heard that mango trees don’t like carbon! I don’t know if that is true or not.

[@EatAndBeEatenHAWAII]

I know they sequester a lot of carbon from the atmosphere, not sure about in terms of soil and nutrients though

[@veliahndlovu9052]

we need seed s in South Africa please

[@EatAndBeEatenHAWAII]

I know this tree is grown quite a bit in some places in Africa. Not sure if by seed or cutting

[@alikakalanihuia8891]

I bought some seeds, but the saplings look like ha’ole koa. Was I ripped off?

[@EatAndBeEatenHAWAII]

I think so. The leaves look the same on gliricidia whether they are young or older.

[@alikakalanihuia8891]

@@EatAndBeEatenHAWAII Shucks! Not what I wanted to hear. MAHALO!!!

[@avijitgoswami3082]

Is this tree effective against rat?

[@EatAndBeEatenHAWAII]

How do you mean?

[@avijitgoswami3082]

@@EatAndBeEatenHAWAII i heard that .. rats didn't came near to this tree

[@EatAndBeEatenHAWAII]

@@avijitgoswami3082 O interesting. Could be true, I cant say I have ever seen rats in them.

[@visheshapuranika740]

Yes. I heard from a farmer that if you make paste of the leaves and needs to keep in bait, if rat eats it, it will die. It is poisonous only for rats.

[@EatAndBeEatenHAWAII]

@@visheshapuranika740 Interesting. Maybe I will try that for rats on the roof.
