We have a loquat tree, were asian we harvest it all the time. the bees go nuts for it once it start flowering. it does take a long time to grow to a sizable tree with a good harvest. birds never go after the loquats though. i think it has been around for 30+years.
pretty well known hawaii had so much invasive species, it has taken over in some areas.
the map shows the northwest will be more concern, all that redwood forests,
mostly the pacific northwest. where also the giant and coastal redwood is.
and its the forests timber is not even good quality too.
probably something to distract the masses, from all the federal cuts, and tariffs from the news,
oh and the type of trees in the us for logging, isnt very good quality so it ends up more expensive anyways.
thiel is obsessed with lotr, thats why he also made/or funded anduril.
I can see it’s on the top of the page, with the up down arrow? I’m on mobile
itsa combination, i believe climate change, rise in temperature, disease and parasites like viruses and varroa mites. additionally they are also inbred so they are genetically weaker, then let see africanized honey bees which are hybrids between african and european bees more healthy but also aggressive. to a lesser effect, they have no defense against japanese giant hornets, unlike the japanese honey bees.
and they are mostly pollinated by fig wasps, which attracts parasites and parasitoids in thier native range. unless your using a cloning variety.
