Be aware that once you remove uluhe, other plants will quickly establish, as uluhe provides some remarkable services to an chia ohia rainforest, the plant pretty much crowds out other, less desirable, plants. Another benefit that the fern provides, that most do not realize, is the nutrient benefit of having uluhe, as it allows a very slow decomposition of plant material on the porous basalt that would otherwise leach out very quickly in the rainforest...
