Ohia trees are dying rapidly, Why?

[Guest]

Obie, mahalo for the info.

Interesting thought here;; Maybe someone in the lower Puna area had a bunch of sweet potatoes that were rotting with a form of fungus. They then may have moved or replanted these fungus infected sweet potatoes around some of their Ohia trees. After some extended time the fungus mutation (ROD) may have occurred and started to affect the Ohia trees. jmo

PaulW, the family and I are watching a snow flurry through the window as i write. The area and weather change has actually been very nice and welcomed. The many Schools and opportunities are far better here than what Puna had to offer. I may need to thank you PaulW for your Baltimore MD advice when I was asking PWeb for opinions on places to move a family some time back. The secret to adjusting to the colder temps this time of year is dress with LAYERS, especially if heading outside to play in the snow. jmo
