We are just looking for someone who can get up high enough to cut down the coconuts and any dead palm fronds, but leave all the trees in place.
Go to the Maku'u farmers market and go to far end(closest to Hilo) and talk to Anno.He sells coconuts to drink and sells machetes along with organic produce.He is always in the same spot.He does our 20 trees for free,although he does not haul away the fronds.He has us on a regular schedule and climbs the trees barefoot so as to not damage them.
