Stay informed and report any sightings of any <br /> suspected trees. This disease is similar to Dutch Elm disease. It's in the <br /> wood, it disrupts the vascular tissue and causes the whole thing to wilt. <br /> Also recommend not moving wood out of diseased areas. This disease is <br /> in the wood and soil. Recommend folks who gather from the forest or hunt <br /> sanitize before leaving the area so as not to transmit this disease. <br /> Call Hawaii Cooperative Extension Service at 969-8254 to report any <br /> suspected trees. <br /> 3.
