If you intend to engage in proper farming kei apple/kaiyaba might not be ideal. The root system are widely spread. It's a competitor of nutrients and water.

What do you mean by 'Trees'? Fence trees ama miti kwa shamba?

Is boungavillia a competitor of nutrients too?
Can hibiscus be a fence?

@murchr, For Kei Apple, you plant the seeds and not the stems. BTW the seeds are edible and very sweet... It's a fruit. Start by getting the ripe fruits, which are yellow in colour. Each fruit has very many seeds which you can havest my manually removing the fresh and retain the tiny seeds. Then make some furrows along the intended fence and plant the seeds, water them and will then germinate. Once the seedlings reach knee height, u need to start coiling it to kake a good fence. For best results you can first do a chain link or berded wire fence and coil the kei apple on the fence. You can get the seeds from mature Kei apple during the fruiting season. Kei apple fence is laborious to manage as it requires regular trimming. The thorns are very prickly and painful. Best results if you have a big plot size as it can easily overgrow.

You can also buys seeds at a seeds shop or try KEFRI .

Best of luck





Thank you, this is very helpful. Do I have to dry the seeds from the fruits first?

Hi esteemed Wazuans, I am not so good at starting threads but I think this one will suffice. I have entered into an agreement to purchase a piece of land which already has a caution by a sister of the seller. The sister is married and in a stable family union. She claims she needs a share of her father's(deceased) property although the succession was done almost 10 years ago using due process and there was no objection then! There are three more sisters who are said to be in agreement with the caveator.

The succession administration was done by the widow of the seller's brother. The widow later on sold her share and bought another piece elsewhere.

The sister is claiming "licencee interest" in the caution and she has paid 2,000/= in the Land Registrar's office so that a committee is constituted to listen to the parties and make recommendations.

My immediate intended action is to have my piece demarcated and move in before we start any litigation. I'm sure there are similar cases which have been determined but my search in KenyaLawReports didn't yield any appropriate result.

What else should I do? Kindly help a Wazua in need.

For the benefit of your mental health never deal in land that has caution or potentially that can have one.Stress tupu.count yourself very lucky if you havent paid a penny.

Thanks @wazuaguest, the question I'm asking is; what kind of interest can a sibling/sister have in your property(land) that was transferred to you in a succession case 8 or 9 years ago?

the story may not be as you are being told by the intended vendor. as wazuaguest has advised you, just stay away from those problems or go see a lawyer for competent advise if you are adamant about buying it - wazua/google legal advise shall only cause you more pain.

@jerry, two words.... Wachana naye. Whenever I caution is placed, the chances of the person placing it having a genuine interest in the land is normally very high, otherwise every Tom and Jane would be placing cautions left right and centre. By the time litigation is done and the caution cleared it may be ages and you may not want to wait that long .......there is plenty of clean land all over.
