Ohia trees are dying rapidly, Why?

Note: Upon reading the article again. I would say the worst thing is a D9 or D10 tractor operating in a neighborhood with spores in the soil. There is no way an operator is going to clean off an entire D9 with 10% Chlorine solution before moving his tractor to the next lot where he digs into the soil and mixes contaminated soil with uncontaminated. Therefore, my strongest recommendation is that no operator can take his rig out of a contaminated area once he has contaminated it. A rig dedicated for use in contaminated areas would be necessary, or good old clearing your lot by hand may be necessary.

Come to think of it, perhaps the blame is right in Leilani and not Helco or Geothermal. All those pool table level lots with no Ohia trees exposed acres of soil.
