Along the Northeast side of Kaholopoohina, at its base, for a long while now I have noticed an area that appears dead. I say 'appears' in that the Kaholopoohina puu is a fairly inaccessible area in the Kohala's that is only visible from a limited number of vantage points. It can be seen, when the weather is cooperative, from highway 19 in the area of the Mehau Ranch, which is several miles away. Am I seeing dieback? Does anyone know anything about the forest in that area?
