When we bought our Hawaii hale, there were a lot of junk trees on the property, introduced species that grow really fast, are unstable, and have a propensity to fall across roads, over power lines, and onto houses.
Early on we had professional tree trimmers come and take down several albezia trees (the worst offenders) as well as others that were too close to our newly installed power lines. At the gate you see samples of them as well as a massive wall of undergrowth of bushes, guava and vine. What was cool about this "corner" of the property was the fact that it was a 15' lava hillside with LOTS of potential.
Once the big trees were removed and we could get into the area, we spent a few weeks pulling old roots and removing lots of accumulated debris. Here you can see the far left 1/3 of the area which Lunel has now planted with colorful bromeliads - with Dexter's help, of course.
