Chas, I meant to ask you what your objection to Ironwood is.
Close to a house it can clog up the gutters. It's non native, invasive, and "not recommended for introduction in Hawaii" (little late for that I guess) according to the Hawaii Forestry Extension.
Although I must admit, I love walking through MacKenzie and other areas where it has taken over. And, since it seems to be everywhere, it is part of my memories of Hawaii from the time I started coming here.
That's really interesting about the Uluhe. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get that to grow on my property. Plus, the area in question is in full sun, and it seems like it wouldn't grow there anyway(?)
