Agroforestry Services: Living fence Industrial Crop: Biomass Management: Coppice Regional Crop A plant of the tropical regions of Central America, where it is found growing at elevations up to 1,000 metres[ 303 ]. It prefers areas where the mean annual temperature is in the range 18 - 25°c, and the mean annual rainfall is 800 - 3,000mm[ 303 ]. Prefers a sunny position and a well-drained soil[ 200 ]. Grows on a range of soils, including Lithosols, Vertisols and Oxisols[ 303 ]. Succeeds in dry soils[ 303 ]. Established plants are drought resistant[ 510 ]. Plants can be pruned back very hard and will resprout successfully[ 510 ]. A dioecious species, both male and female forms need to be grown if seed is required[ 200 ]. Carbon Farming Agroforestry Services: Living fence Simply managed rows of shrubs and trees. Industrial Crop: Biomass Three broad categories: bamboos, resprouting woody plants, and giant grasses. uses include: protein, materials (paper, building materials, fibers, biochar etc.), chemicals (biobased chemicals), energy - biofuels Management: Coppice Cut to the ground repeatedly - resprouting vigorously. Non-destructive management systems maintaining the soil organic carbon. Regional Crop These crops have been domesticated and cultivated regionally but have not been adopted elsewhere and are typically not traded globally, Examples in this broad category include perennial cottons and many nuts and staple fruits.

Seed. Forty per cent germination occurs within 20 days[ 303 ]. Seed storage behaviour is orthodox. Seeds remain viable for 10 months[ 303 ]. Cuttings root easily. Even large branches 1 - 3 metres long will produce roots[ 510 ].
