I am doing a little seminar paper on agroforestry and want to check a few things: 1) Is it true that Leucaena leucocephala sprouts after cutting? 2) and Sesbania sesban does not? 3) What are the best species for fences in East Africa? 4) What are the best tree & grass species for natural terracing in E-A? 5) What are the most popular combination fruit tree/crop species in E-A?

These are rather large questions which I can't answer, but ICRAF most certainly could. I've not yet been able to obtain a list of subscribers to this newsgroup, but it may not have reached Kenya yet. The ICRAF address is: PO Box 30677, Nairobi, Telex 22048, Telefax 521001. I have sent a letter to the ICRAF Journal 'Agroforestry Today' with details of the newsgroup, but we'll have to accept that initial membership will be restricted to computer enthusiasts.
