I encourage you to stay on track with the Ohia trees. Logically PGV activity will not affect trees miles away.

I don't want to dismiss Gypsy so easily. Ohia trees could die for different reasons. The first human deaths from a new malady are usually ignored despite the fact the deaths occur right in front of a doctor
Ohia seem to be more sensitive a plant than I imagined. Several changes have occurred in last 20 years.
New fungi, new invasive flora and fauna, new activity by man.
Man may account for an individual grove of Ohia to die.
My question is whether remote groves, say up the Hamakua coast and elevations 1000-5000 ft are dying.
Trees on Maui?
Gypsy,
Are there fire ants on your property?
