Last Day For This Big Tree

Workers are chopping this big old tree down. The following press release was issued from the State Department of Agriculture website:

"If you are commuting to the Main Office of the Hawaii Department of Agriculture this week, be aware of lane closures from Wed., Nov, 20 to Tues., Nov. 26. from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the area around Keeaumoku St., S. King St., and Young St.

The Department of Accounting and General Services will be removing a large 80-year-old earpod tree which has been determined to have extensive internal decay and poses a potential hazard to the public.

Motorists are advised to drive with caution, observe and obey all traffic controls, anticipate delays, and consider alternate routes."
