Wrath Of Gnon

Indigo prefers full sun but in hot climates it grows well in shade. In nearby Okinawa indigo is grown with great success in citrus tree orchards, doubling the output of the farms for very little extra labor and investment.
In in Hualien County a private 6ha butterfly reserve is being used to also grow indigo plants, which were a major cash crop until about a century ago. Underneath the trees indigo plants provide food and shelter for the butterflies: excess indigo leaves are harvested and sold.

Tiny urban forests can help rewild urban settings and help fight climatechange. The brainchild of the Japanese π―π΅ botanist Miyawaki is taking his idea global.
