This Valencia Orange (Vancouver) is located in Kaawaloa, South Kona on the same pazcel as Exceptional Tree No. 2 - Pili Nut (Canarium sp). It is one of the seedlings that Capt. Vancouver gifted to Napoopoo Chieftess Kapiolani in 1791. Although the tree was cut back, a new trunk came up. The fruits have been used over the years by Punahou alumni for fundraisers on Oahu. On behalf of the owner, the Arborist Advisory Committee requests the August 14, 2007 Council committee hearing be waived and this bill be set on the agenda for the County Council meeting in Kona on August 15, 2007. This will allow the Kona property owner and/or community the opportunity to appear at the Kona Council meeting to support the exceptional tree nomination.
