Part 5/7:
One of the most significant advantages of Miyawaki forests is their self-sustaining nature. In the initial two years following planting, the saplings receive the essential care they need, including regular watering and weed control. Once established, these forests thrive independently. Over time, the plants grow into robust trees that produce fruits and flowers, attracting bees and butterflies for pollination. Birds flock to eat the fruits, and their droppings facilitate the growth of new saplings, perpetuating a vibrant cycle of life.
