Precisely why to figure out a way to get them to carefully remove those "pesky weeds" with root ball intact to a government-protected (or private protected, I'm not adverse to having someone like TNC set one up) nursery, where the trees will be allowed to reach full growth without depriving the
campesino of use of his land....
