ʻO nā lāʻau lehu he lāʻau lau. Aia ma kahi o 50 mau ʻano like ʻole o lākou a puni ka honua. ʻO kēia mau ʻano, ʻekolu mau ʻano e ulu ana ma ʻEulopa. Ma luna o nā mea a pau, ulu ka "lehu maʻamau" maʻaneʻi. Hoʻokumu nā lāʻau lehu i kahi genus a pili i nā lāʻau ʻoliva.
I ka hāʻule, nalowale nā lau o nā lāʻau lehu ʻEulopa. Ulu nā mea hou i ka puna. Ma nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe, aia nā lāʻau lehu e mālama i ko lākou mau lau i ka hoʻoilo. Hoʻokumu nā lāʻau lehu i nā pua, kahi e ulu ai nā hua. Manaʻo ʻia kēia mau nutlets. He mau anoano maple ko lakou. ʻO kēia ka mea e hiki ai i nā hua ke lele iki mai ke kumu. ʻO kēia ka mea e hiki ai i ka lāʻau ke hoʻohua maikaʻi.
ʻO Ashwood ke kaumaha, ikaika, a me ka lohi. ʻO ia ke kumu i manaʻo ʻia ai ʻo ia ka lāʻau ʻEulopa maikaʻi loa no nā mea paahana, ʻo ia hoʻi nā hāmare, nā ʻōpala, nā ʻoki, nā broom, a pēlā aku. Akā, ua kūpono ia no nā mea haʻuki e like me nā sleds a i ʻole nā pepa baseball, a me ke kūkulu ʻana i nā moku. Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole makemake ka lāʻau i ka makū. No laila ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e waiho i kēia mau mea i waho i ka pō.
Ua hoʻopilikia ʻia nā lāʻau lehu i nā makahiki i hala iho nei e kekahi haʻo. ʻO ka hopena, ua make nā ʻōpuʻu ʻōpiopio. Eia kekahi, ua lawe ʻia mai kahi pipi mai Asia mai, nāna e ʻai i nā ʻōpuʻu. No laila, hopohopo kekahi poʻe ʻepekema o make ka lehu ma ʻEulopa.
No ka ʻohana lāʻau ʻoliva ka lāʻau lehu. Hoʻopili pū kēia me nā lāʻau ʻoliva a me ka privet, a mākou i ʻike nui ai he mau pā. Mālama nā lāʻau ʻoliva i nā lau i ka hoʻoilo. Hāʻule nā lau lehu i ka hāʻule a ulu hou nā lau hou i ka pūnāwai. Me nā mea pilikino, aia nā mea ʻelua: ʻo ka poʻe i nalowale i ko lākou mau lau i ka hāʻule e like me nā lāʻau lehu a me nā mea mālama iā lākou e like me nā lāʻau ʻoliva.
ʻO ka lehu mauna ka inoa "lehu", akā ʻaʻole. ʻO "Rowberry" kona inoa maoli. ʻAʻole pili iki i ka lehu.
