A visit to Parcel 2

Parcel 2, from the access road, which is the western side. viewing south. The parcel ends at the button shape tree (single). These are the pahse 1 or parcel 2, and were planted late last year.

Most of the trees are growing well. Those Coccidae affected trees, after removing most of the infection, are growing back, but it's not as tall because the growth were stunt, during the infection.

 

From the access road, looking down to the end of Parcel 2, phase 1.

Parcel 2, phase 2, which is the eastern side. The location is a bit odd. Its separated from phase 1 with a steep slope and a small river. In fact both sides of phase 2 is side 2 rivers, like a Y. Luckily the access road is just next to Parcel 3. We had recently finished planting here. We are making further arrangement to plant a row of trees along the left side (ours) of the road. Guess it can accommodate maybe 70 trees as the road is very steep and long. There is also a small area across the 2nd river. Guess we'll leave it at the moment.

View from the lowers terrace, southern side of Parcel 2, phase 1, back to the top.

The last lowest terrace of Parcel 2, phase 1.

A replacement tree on the last terrace.

Another replacement tree. Note the previous death tree (standing, no leaves).

A recovering tree (from Coccidae).

The top Southern edge of Parcel 2, phase 1. This is where our rain collection hut is.

Just realized that we had more area on the Parcel 2, phase 1, northern end (lower). As I did not walk down the track. We can't drive through as the road has eroded. Not sure if this are is planted as it's a newly terrace area.
Overall, Parcel 2 is progressing slowly as planned. There is no short cut in agriculture. We can only provide better care, that is nutrient that the trees required and weeding. Weeding is important as there are a lot of the parasitic vine plants that coils around the tree at a very fast pace and deprive the trees of sun light. Our next fertilization application shall be June.
