Anyway usisahau trees trees trees in your budget What do you mean by 'Trees'? Fence trees ama miti kwa shamba? Is boungavillia a competitor of nutrients too? Can hibiscus be a fence? On hibiscus, yes it can be a fence, though as it grows it needs some training - but its good especially in the drier areas. I bought some seedlings for the same hapo forestry institute on kiambu road. I have not noted the root system for bougainvillea extending far, thus it keeps to its planted area unlike kei apple whose root system spreads far.

I want to know how its grown ie can i plant the stems in water for them to get roots so then transplant them? Please assist! @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? I have never understood why they do it, but I see people mashing up the yellowish fruits and laying them in the sun to dry before getting the seeds, maybe its for the ease of extracting the seeds when dry.

Lokwats we know them too they're eaten. Everybody STEALS, a THIEF is one who's CAUGHT stealing something of LITTLE VALUE. !!!
