Descripción
Planting of trees such as the calliandra in contour hedge-rows can reduce erosion on steep slopes and as windbreaks against strong winds or typhoon while integrating cash crops like vegetables. The tree can establish easily and grows quickly. It is adapted in areas with minimum temperature ranging from 18 - 22° C. Grows on different soil type and could be tolerant in acidic soils with pH of about 4.5. Lemons are well-adapted to virtually any soil in which they are likely to be planted if the soil has good drainage.
