Eradication Strawberry Guava (leaf gall)
#65
Here's my mind dump at this point.

The strawberry guava has little redeeming and NO unique positive value. We can get Vitamin C from plenty other available and less destructive sources. The wood? If it is so great, then use it immediately -- all of it! We do not need to save any.

The strawberry guava is definitely a destructive force against 'native' plant species, especially ohia lehua, at all altitudes.

Release of a parasite is expected to stop or nearly stop seeding and spreading. Based on research the parasite is not expected to be a problem.

The parasite will not kill the strawberry guava trees.

Other actions under consideration for combating strawberry guava are ...? [help here, anyone?]
