Koa trees in lower puna

[Hotzcatz]

As long as they are growing and doing well, keep up the good work!

I have heard from tree folks that koa trees used to grow almost down to sea level but most of the lower level ones were easy to harvest when they needed timbers for train tracks. They didn't mention if it was a separate "low elevation" koa species or just regular koa trees growing at a lower level.
