""""It is my understanding that many of the Ohia seen in the Waimea area, especially those striking ones found in the commercial centers, are not native to Hawaii but rather imports from Australia"""
glinda, this is not true! the planted out yellow Ohia along the main streets/sidwalks in the town of Waimea are all native ones, Ive looked at them many times.... same with the ones at MtView School, etc. , plus fyi, there are no native Metrosideros in Australia... they are mostly from New Caledonia, New Zealand, and New Guinea... with some in the Pacific and one in SAfrica and one in the Philippines ...
******************************************************************
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
