Hi! I have been trying to find out where Leucaenas originate.
I have a friend here in South Africa who claims that they are the
new wonder tree, But I'm a bit wary of wonder trees in our
sensitive fynbos ecology. The so-called wonder trees imported
from Australia in the 1800's have displaced large tracts of our
indigenous flora. I can find no mention af leucaenas in any of
my tree books. Can you possibly help?
