Eradication Strawberry Guava (leaf gall)

[mcnaughty]

There are no "native" forest at low elevations because trees like guava have pushed them out following massive clearing and and host of other invasive species. Controlling strawberry guava is critical to helping reforest some of those areas. Without using biocontrols many invasive plants would cost millions and millions of dollars to eradicate particularly strawberry guava because its spread by birds, pigs, cows and goats. If any of you would like to see "native" lowland forests in Hawaii in our lifetime this biocontrol will certainly help.
