Description: A good description of kenaf with graphics.
cannot run wild across the country like a weed, because in almost all parts of the U.S., kenaf seeds cannot mature. Kenaf is a 4,000 year old NEW crop with roots in ancient Africa. A member of the hibiscus family (Hibiscus cannabinus L), it is related to cotton and okra, and grows well in many parts of the U.S. It offers a way to make paper without cutting trees. Kenaf grows quickly, rising to heights of 12-14 feet in as little as 4 to 5 months. U.S. Department of Agriculture studies show that kenaf yields of 6 to 10 tons of dry fiber per acre per year are generally 3 to 5 times greater than the yield for Southern pine trees, which can take from 7 to 40 years to reach harvestable size. There are many different varieties of kenaf, and certain varieties will perform better in certain locations, or under certain conditions than other varieties.
