This tree is Ohia. In Leilani Estates, they are experiencing an as yet unexplained dieing off of Ohia's. There are about 50 trees in one neighborhood. As the residents take them down for safety, we are called to harvest them. They are usually hollow in the middle and we have to store and dry them for four to 12 months. We have the space for that at my ranch.
So, yes, as mentioned above, this is the tree that needs to be removed. We at no time harvest live, healthy trees. We are doing a community service both removing the trees that need to be removed and providing firewood to warm people up in the very cold volcano. It isn't grocery shopping. One helps those who need help. Most of the time when we remove the trees they are on the properties of persons who do not have the resources to have them removed. We simply take a naturally occurring situation and try to turn it into a win/win. That's how I like life... win/win.
I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says
"Oh Crap, She's up!"
