Koa Stewardship: Kaua'i

When I was asked to look into what kind of koa was being managed on Kaua'i, I must admit that initially I just drew a blank. There are a number of reasons why there have not been significant plantings of koa in the recent past. As I started to think about it, I thought that the most important thing that I could perhaps mention were the reasons why I and other people have chosen in fact not to plant koa. And, perhaps, we can deal with those problems or those opportunities and increase the potential for planting this fabulous tree.
