Looking for a versatile tree that can be used for multiple purposes? Look no further than Leucaena leucocephala 'Hawaiian Giant K8', also known as Haole Koa, Jumbay, Leadtree, White Leadtree or White Popinac. This variety is a more shrubby form rather than tree form. Native to Mexico and Central America, this small mimosoid tree has been used for everything from firewood to livestock fodder, and even as a food source for humans. Its excellent source of high protein cattle fodder makes it a popular choice in South-East Asia, and its fast growth rate and nitrogen fixation qualities make it a contender for biomass production. The young pods are also edible and can be added to various dishes for extra nutrition. If you're looking for a miracle tree with multiple uses, check out Leucaena leucocephala 'Hawaiian Giant K8'.
