Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes — February 13, 2017 <br />checked it out up Holualoa — last winter it all came back. I've seen it's — it <br />goes through these periodic leaf -loss periods... <br />NP: This is really unusual sick strawberry guavas... <br />JB: I've never seen any strawberry guava die. I had another landowner in <br />Glenwood... <br />NP: Are you serious? <br />JB: I've never seen strawberry guava die. <br />NP: There's huge areas. Has anybody else noticed that the strawberry guavas <br />are dying? Nobody noticed that? Look around, check it out... <br />JB: I went to see — there's a landowner in Kurtistown that I went to see and <br />what was happening there — is he was on these, real wet, soggy soils up <br />there — the strawberry had gone so big that it was falling over. <br />NP: Well, yeah... <br />JB: But it wasn't dying, it just turned and kept growing. <br />NP: That behavior happens with them. <br />This is different — defoliation, dying branches and also where I've seen this <br />happening there's pilau maile taking over on them because of their <br />defoliation. <br />JB: Sure, I see pilau maile coming in all the time. I've never seen strawberry <br />guava die. <br />NP: I would sure like somebody else to say they've noticed that too because <br />it's pretty obvious — course you wouldn't have funds to study the <br />strawberry guava and anything that happens to them so, maybe that's <br />tunnel vision. <br />JB: Well, I see a lot of strawberry guava going around the forest on this island. <br />NP: Could I take pictures and mail 'em to you? <br />JB: Absolutely. <br />NP: I would like to do that because — for several reasons — OK — so you're <br />saying that there is a heat and cool issue related to the fungus — so in the <br />cooler forests the ohia are doing better? <br />24 <br />
