Does anyone see the irony of the Federal Building in Honolulu being landscaped with trees that are all on the State of Hawaii list of invasive or weed species? There’s Fiddlewood (Citharexylum caudatum) near the mauka entrance stairs, Formosa Koa (Acacia confusa) and several manicured Chinese Banyan trees (Ficus microcarpa) on the lawn, and a very heavy presence of Australian Tree Ferns (Sphaeropteris cooperi) along the ‘Ewa side. Heck, there’s probably Wedelia (Wedelia prostrata) somewhere over there too!
Is it also ironic that Kaiser Hospital, Moanalua has a hedge of poisonous Yellow Oleander (Thevetia peruviana)?
Go figure.
