ROD detected on Kauai Ohia - randomq - 05-12-2018 They've detected the less deadly form of Rapid Ohia Death (ROD) on Kauai. Not sure how it got to the forest reserve (birds?) but maybe this will ramp up efforts to combat it. http://www.hawaiitribune-herald.com/2018/05/12/hawaii-news/ohia-fungus-detected-on-kauai/ quote:.

Maybe we can replant other native species to replenish? Maybe disease resistant varieties of ohia? Also, even though it's a rubbish tree, the Albesia helps with that water shed issue. RE: ROD detected on Kauai Ohia - kalakoa - 05-12-2018 Maybe we can replant other native species to replenish? Maybe we can start already, instead of more "studies" and "waiting to see"? RE: ROD detected on Kauai Ohia - ElysianWort - 05-14-2018 I agree. Start now then study later. Can't hurt to plant native trees. |
