- kragen 3y agohey, this is great! thanks!
- pvaldes 3y agoHum. If is E. gardneri then is not culture, is dismantlement of the nepali forests to make money (literally). That would be very sad.
- kragen 3y agoit says they're planting it and harvesting the plants after no more than three years so the bark doesn't redden, but looking at the photos in the article, it looks like the hill districts in question aren't very forested? google maps makes it look like there are in fact many forests there: https://www.google.com/maps/@26.9,88.5101152,20665m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en&entry=ttu https://www.google.com/maps/@26.9,88.5101152,20665m/data=!3m...
- pvaldes 3y agoThis mean (probably) harvesting the young branches of less than 3 years, but this shrubs should be much older. (Maybe in their native climate they grow faster?).
