Rapid Ohia Death
As professionals in the arboriculture field it is our kuleana to do everything that we can to prevent the spread of the Ceratocystis fungus that causes Rapid Ohia Death. Below are some helpful resources.
Please watch this short Video Brochure – Very informative visual description.
To prevent spread of the Ceratocystis fungus, It is important to thoroughly clean your boots and gear whenever you’ve been working or hiking in an area with known Rapid ‘Ōhi‘a Death infection. Here, Big Island Invasive Species Committee volunteers get an alcohol spray and boot scrubbing after working near Lava Tree State Monument.
