Well, I'm no scientist, but if you take a look at the ones they used to build space you can see they're a whole lot bigger than the trees most people have in Seaview. I suspect that's because there's some older lava there in that kipuka on the state land. Older than Seaview, older than Kehena. Actually from the little dot there on my old soils map it looks older than anything else around there. That's what makes it such a shame.

Good point, Pilgrim. By definition, forest in a kipuka doesn't date from after the last flow, as a kipuka is an area that the lava left untouched. And the area had not been subjected to repeated flows in the last century as far as I know. I think the 1955 flow was the one for that area.
