KEEP all native plants! period!
if you have less than 2 feet of dirt.... Ohia natural need the Uluhe fern to keep the ground cooler and damper. most of Puna has only inches of dirt, if you remove the NATIVE indigenous Uluhe ferns the ground will get baked more often and the Ohia will die during droughts, especially in lower Puna ie HPP etc.
and it keeps the weeds down too..
I have electric (fire) ants, but they dont like the native Uluhe...
