Jim,



"I read that some ohias can reach roughly 50 inches in circumference at the trunk (that would be about 16 inches in diameter), but if an ohia tree really did have a 3-foot diameter, how high would it be?

Not sure if there's answer to that, but is there a general relationship between trunk size and tree height? If there is, does it depend on the species?"

Up near volcano in the Pu'u Makaala forest reserve 4000 ft elevation there are old old growth Ohia's that are many hundreds of years old and some are larger than 3 feet in diameter. They do not keep growing taller, maybe 60' max height, just wider.

Also I woke up around 1AM and the SO2 smell was very strong. The http://hiso2index.info/ website showed green for Mtn. View and Hilo but that often is the case when my nose and blue tinged air says otherwise. Live in OCLA.

I wonder why the site you linked to has no measurements for the Pahoa area? Gee could it be that they don't want any measurements near enough to PGV that could indicate leakage from this very ------ neighbor?
The reason I say this is that I have ( as is true for the last 3 days), smelled some degree of SO2 here in Pahoa , and I might add that I have come here everyday for a long, long time , and have not smelled SO2 here really since I reported it to the fire station guys last year - maybe a couple times - not more.
But why no measuring station here - and don't say PGV has one because they have an "ask" but don't "tell " policy " as far as I can tell.
