9/x But really noone should cut Iroko at all! It is an #oxalogenic species which fixes carbon into the soil (and fertilises), one of the best trees to plant right now for #CarbonCapture. I learned this from an #Eastbourne fellow #ClimateActivist (activist in the loosest sense - people who do things about #ClimateChange) and you can read more here. I am not an expert on this myself, but the Iroko really is one of our #SuperTrees
