Albezia is one of the fastest growing renewal resources we have for the construction, furniture making, and paper industries. This wood can be used in a multitude of ways. All of these problem tree on the island can be used for engineered hardwood flooring, external siding, internal paneling, chip board (aka particle board for wall sheething, sub floors, roof decking, cabinet boxes, etc., etc.,), plywood, cabinets doors & styles, crown molding, baseboard - window - door trim, engineered roof trusses, decking, railings, staircases, etc., etc.,... There are so many uses for this wood. The fact it can grow so fast while trapping carbon makes it the best wood species to farm in the tropics. When Albezia trees or any carbon sequestering trees are burned, chipped up, or otherwise allowed to decompose, all the carbon sequestered from the atmosphere and stored in the wood will be releasted back into the atmosphere again. By utilizing the wood, the carbon stored remains trapped. Thus making these trees an excellent storage device for carbon. Many countries do farm this tree for all of the abovementioned uses and many, many more. The wood is beautiful. Making it perfect for use as veneer on other unsightly, but harder wood species such as pine, poplar, fir, and the like when needed for visible structural support. The state needs to see these as a resource when removing these trees. Logging these trees, rather than cutting down to make mulch, and selling them on may actually reduce the costs or possibly cover the cost and provide a profit. The trees could be milled and used in state, county, or city construction projects. Thus cutting down on the costs for other lumber. Local Colleges and schools could use the lumber in their shop classes. Local craftsmen coukd also use the branches for their furniture or art pieces. The branches are also excellent for making pulp paper products. Hawai`i, please stop wasting this resource. Chipping these tree for mulching leads to the release of the sequestered carbon. Chipping them to make particle/chip board is excellent. Chipping does make transporting to a pulp or plywood mill much more efficient. Doing so also provides a sellable product that'll keep the carbon trapped in the wood. This is a win win for the state, the residents, and the environment. Thank you. Cheers from Seattle Despite being am invasive species, it's a remarkable resource when logged and used properly.

Did it work out?
Yea, what happened
