Eradication Strawberry Guava (leaf gall)
#31
"invasive guava might meet its match":
http://starbulletin.com/2008/05/23/news/story09.html

"if the release goes as planned, the little bug, formally known as tectococcus ovatus, will form galls, or bumps, on the leaves of strawberry guava, also known as waiawi, weakening the plant and slowing its fruit production.

"the insect does not kill the plant outright," a statement from the forest service said."

"...some other invasive plants that have been subject to biocontrol in the past: prickly pear cactus, lantana, banana poka and ivy gourd. despite some control, those plants are still commonly found in hawai'i."

malia paha o lohe aku

perhaps they will hear
"a great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices."
