Waiwai = Strawberry Guava
but if you have the smaller red fruit type of Waiwai they are not too hard to remove by hand (ie chainsaw, loppers, etc.)
(I have yellow fruit type of Waiwai and they can get 75' tall and 1.5' wide in upper Puna)
the trees that are tougher than Waiwai are the Albizia and the other garbage trees like African Tulip and Gunpowder trees, Melochia, Java Plum, Melestoma, etc. a mature Albizia will fall wider than your lot .....some small lots in Puna, it may cost more $$ to remove the Albizias that the lot is worth
if you have any native trees leave them, ie all the Ohia and mature Hala
******************************************************************
save our indigenous and endemic Hawaiian Plants... learn about them, grow them, and plant them on your property, ....instead of all that invasive non-native garbage I see in most yards... aloha
