a healthy (well-fed) ohia might be able to survive ROD.
This has been one of the tenets of organic gardening, that a well fed plant with a full, balanced array of nutrients will be able to better resist and survive attacks by insects, fungus, virus, or bacteria. If this is to be an effective measure in the case of ohia tress and ROD, any fertilizing probably needs to be done sooner rather than later, as it does appear there is a point of no return beyond which the vascular system of the trees can no longer transport water.
