Hoʻokomo pinepineʻia nā mea kanu maoli e like me nā kumukūʻai maikaʻi no ka mea ua kūpono lākou i ka uluʻana ma ko lākou wahi pono'ī. Akā, mai kēia mau lāʻano hou e hānaiʻia ana e loaʻa nāʻano maikaʻi a pau e like me ka maʻi a me ka pale pale a me ka uluʻana o ka ulu ulu, he mea nui ke kanu i nā mea kanu maoli? Pehea hoʻi au iʻike ai i nā mea kanu maoli i koʻu wahi āpau?
He aha keʻano'ōiwi'ōiwi?
ʻO nā mea kanu'ōpiopio ka mea kanu i ulu ma ia wahi.
Ua ulu ulu nā mea kanu i kahi ma mua o ka hoʻomakaʻana o nā kānaka e lawe mai i nā mea kanu i waho no ka ulu a me ka mahiʻai. ʻO nā'ōiwi kanu i hoʻololiʻia i ka'ōnaehana a me nāʻano moʻomeheu o kahi āpau a lilo i wahi o ke kaiaola.
ʻO ia ka mea e alakaʻi iā mākou i ko mākou nīnau hou aʻe: he aha kēlā wahi? Hiki ke kanu i nā lālā i ka'āinaʻoʻAmelika Hema, akā,ʻaʻole i hānau maoli i nā'āina a pau ma ka US. Nā mea kanu Hawaiʻi e hiki ke ulu i nā wahi kiko'ī loa, i mea kanu i ka Acadia National Park ma Maine, akāʻaʻole kokoke i Portland.
Aia iʻoi aku keʻano pilikino o nā'ōiwi kanu keʻikeʻoe he mea kanu maoli ka mea kanu i nāʻano likeʻole. ʻO kahi laʻana,ʻo ka Eastern Redbud he kanaka maoli ia ma Georgia a me New York, akāʻo nā lāʻau i ulu aʻe ma Georgia ua kūpono i ka lewa o Georgia,ʻaʻoleʻo New York. No laila, maikaʻi loa kaʻike i kahi e ulu ana nā mea kanu āu e kūʻai nei. ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo,ʻo ka nui o nā mea kanu e hāʻawiʻia ana mai nā mea kanu nui a me nā mahiʻai, aʻaʻole pahaʻoe e maopopo i kahi i ulu ai kāu mea kanu.
Akā, aia nā kumu a pau e manaʻo ai e hoʻololi ai.
No ke aha e pono ai au e kanu i ka ulu me nā mea kanu?
No nā poʻe hoʻomaka, hōʻiliʻili lākou i ka hana a me nā waiwai. Ma muli o ka hoʻohanaʻana o nā mea kanu'ōiwi i nā kineturi e hoʻololi ana i nā ulu ulu o kāu māla,ʻaʻole lākou e makemake nui i ke ala o kaʻilima hou, ka'ūla a me ka hoʻolōʻana i ka hoʻoilo.
Hoʻohālike pinepine nā mea kanu hou, akā,ʻaʻole i ho'āʻoʻia i nā wahi a pau a kanu i nā hōʻailona hōʻike,ʻo ka lōʻihi o lākou ma ka mākeke a ke ulu nei ma kahi ākea. Hiki iā lākou ke lawe i nā lanakila ma ka Zone 5, akā, hiki i ka hoʻolālāʻole o ke kauwela ke hana iā lākou i loko.ʻO nā mea e holomua ana e pono ai kahi manawa hoʻololi i kāu māla.
Hoʻomaopopo pono nā'ōpiopio i loko o ka māla. ʻAʻole iʻoi aku ka meaʻino i nā kānaka kanu. Ma hope o ka pukaʻana i loko o ke kaiāulu, aia lākou i nā mea hoʻokipa maoli e kōkua iā lākou e mālama iā lākou. He paʻakikī i kaʻikeʻana he ulu hou i ulu ma ka Panakō 6ʻaʻole e hemo a lilo i mea hoʻoneʻe i ka Zone 8.
Aia nā pilikino āpau, manu, a me nā lehuale i pilina me kāu mau mea kanu. Ke hilinaʻi nei lākou iā lākou no kaʻai, kahi hoʻonani, a me ka hoʻokipa.
I ka hope, hiki i nā mea kanu maoli ke nani loa. Hōʻalo pinepine mākou i nā mea kanu ma lalo o ko ihu, no ka pono o kēia kumulāʻau hou ma ke kūlanakauhale. Akā,ʻo nā punahele māla e like me nā coneflowers, coreopsis, a me ka yarrow, ua uluʻia mai nā'ōiwi oʻAmelika Hikina.
E lilo i nā mea kanu kaʻu no kaʻu keiki? ʻO koʻu moku'āina? ...
ʻO ka nui o ke kaiaulu āu e koho ana i nā mea kanu maoli,ʻo kaʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka piʻiʻana o ka hopena i ka wā e ulu ai.
Akā, he māla mākou,ʻaʻole mākou e mālama i kahi mālama. E hoʻomaka ma ka hoʻokomoʻana i kahi lima o nā mea kanu i like me kou county a moku'āina a kūkulu paha ma laila.
Ma hea e hiki ai iaʻu keʻike i nā mea kanu e like me nā'ōiwi i koʻu moku?
ʻO ka wahi maʻalahi kahi e hoʻomaka ai, aia ma kāu kaiapili kōkua kaiaulu. Hiki iā lākou ke hāʻawi iāʻoe a iʻole e kuhikuhi iāʻoe i kahi papa inoa mea kanu'āina no kou wahi.
Hoʻomaka ka uluʻana o nā mea kanu ulu liʻiliʻi i nā wahi āpau. ʻO kēia mau mea hānai he kumu nui ia no nā'ōiwi kanu a me nā mea kanu e pili ana i kāu wahi. Aia i ka PlantNative kahi moku'āina ma ka hōʻikeʻana i nā inoa o nā hānai lāʻau.
Aia kekahi mau papa ulu lāʻau maoli ma ka pūnaewele e hāʻawi ana i nā papa inoa o nā'ōiwi ma o ka moku'āina. ʻElua mau mea maikaʻi e hoʻomaka ai kāu:
- eNature.com - Ke alakaʻiʻana o nāʻano kanu kaiaulu a me Invasive
- ʻO Plant Native - Ka MeaʻImi Mea Kūʻai Lālā
A e mālama mau i kāu mau mea kanu mai kahi waihona kaulana. E kōkua ana kēia i ka mālamaʻiaʻana o nāʻano pilikino i hōʻiliʻiliʻia i ke kānāwai i ka nahelehele, a me ka hōʻoiaʻana e loaʻa ana iāʻoe kahi lāʻau āu e makemake ai,ʻaʻole naʻe he mea hoʻopunipuni.
