I live on Maui. This weekend I read our local news
paper. In the letters/opinion section, someone
asked why in the last 2 weeks they saw 5 Jacksons
fall off trees and die. All of them were black. Any
hoo today I went to that part of the island to check
out the Jacks. We found 4 of them and they all had
the black skin and were weak. Some of them lived on
trees that were isolated, so I doubt they had contact
with other Jacks. I'm wonderin if what ever it is may
be air born or passed on by what ever food source they
have in commmon. I wonder if it's some sort of bio
control. I know they are trying get rid of the veileds
that were in the wild. Any guesses on what the cause
could be? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
thank you
Anthony
