Thanks Slow Walker,
I just hope Dr Friday rereads the entire thread and decides to reverse his earlier publicly stated opinion that an ash purification project wouldn't work to combat parasites and fungal blight. My perceptions are based on exciting anecdotal history and copious supporting data. Promising signs have been seen to stall the trend of ROD, right here in Puna and could inform policy here on the Big Island as well as elsewhere in the world. ROD had been known to be 100% terminal prior to my lucky find. It is an attainable goal. It would be a real win for any scientist to get on board this project at the inception. For all my bluster, I don't hold grudges. Dr Friday, you are welcome to this experiment. I am not interested or qualified to do the sort of testing you do or expand much further on my own findings other than to treat a few trees every week. I have arguably done a lot at my own expense and need support moving forward even if it is through concurrent experiments. My feet are on strike. As a community, we got this.
I was informed by a friend who is following my thread that a more political response to his suggestion and wink
would be to say "Thank you I will take it under advisement"
LOL!
