Agroforestry Services: Living fence  Industrial Crop: Fiber  Management: Standard  Regional Crop

Requires a well-drained soil and a sunny position[200 ]. Plants are monocarpic - they live for a number of years without flowering, then put all their energy into flowering and die afterwards[200 ]. Occurs in climates with good light with temperature between 17 and 24 ? C, relative humidity between 50 and 70%. Prefers clay-clayey soils, well aerated and with a pH between 5.0 and 7.0. It can be propagated sexually by entomophilic pollination, but it must spread asexually through bulbils or suckers, which after falling to the ground, grow easily.

Carbon Farming

• Agroforestry Services: Living fence  Simply managed rows of shrubs and trees.
• Industrial Crop: Fiber  Clothing, rugs, sheets, blankets etc. Currently, almost none of our fiber are produced from perennial crops but could be!
• Management: Standard  Plants grow to their standard height. Harvest fruit, seeds, or other products. Non-Destructive management systems.
• 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.
