Excerpt from The Pigeon Pea (Cajanus Indicus): Its Culture and Utilization in Hawaii It is the hardiest legu'me of all I have tried at Haiku. It maintains itself for years, and no insects have seriously bothered it so far. It does not start well when planted in winter, but November plantings loiter along and grow vigorously at the coming of warm weather. Its chief drawback is its size. With special care and arrangements, plowing one-half acre a 'day, I have turned it under fairly well when four years old, using a disk plow and four large mules. In three months' time the plants had rotted so that it gave no trouble in replowing and fitting the land in good shape. The best com I ever grew followed these peas.
