Feasibility exploration

A tree that can support more than one local economy.

An exploration of calliandra as bee forage, supplementary livestock feed, pruned wood, and a landscape asset.

Program context

A single-use approach can overlook seasonal limits, ration safety, supply consistency, and the wider landscape value of a productive tree.

Calliandra should not be treated as the only forage source. Flowering calendars, tannins, balanced rations, pruning cycles, and buyers all matter before larger processing is considered.

Program pathway

01

Bee forage

Map flowering seasons, hive locations, and gaps in forage through the year.

02

Feed and wood

Assess leaves within proper rations and practical uses for pruned stems.

03

Landscape

Explore contour planting, productive boundaries, and diversified farm mosaics.
