Not sure what these species are. I just was down at the beach snorkeling and taking under water pics. These trees were common there. The tall variety looks something like what I've seen So Cal desert area.

The tree on the top is ironwood and the one on the bottom
is kiawe. Both are excellent for the BBQ or for firewood.

I trimmed a large monkeypod tree on Friday and these are some
pictures I took while on the tree. I must say tree climbers have the
best views.

Ya, lots of T n A.

Thanks for naming those.

Out getting a bite then calling it a day. We're all doing the four wheelers on the valcano or waterfalls or something tomorrow. :-/

I was going to take pics of the T n A on the beach etc, but I knew StihlO and MDS don't go that way. Gotta make the new bend on the website n all. Ya, well....we'll see about that. T n A --- Trees n Azs

The Banyan tree? in Maui was the most incredible tree Ive ever saw. Truly amazing! I will defenitly be going back to Maui again. I was there on 2007. The wife and i got hitched there on McKenna surf beach. Maui IMHO, is all that and then some. Paradise.

When I lived and worked down in fort laurderdale (20 years ago) there was a huge banyan tree in one of these upscale developments. I got in trouble for carving my initials in it with an 020, and we had to do some free pruning on it as a result. lol. I remember it had some kind of disease and we pruned out the infested parts. Those air roots can pose a serious hazzard if ya don't see one and think you're cutting a piece free... big ficus or strangler figs were even worse.

International logging congress had a show in Maui this year and why I dont know because we have all the trees. Im going to have to bring that up with Mr. Pihl ..... AGAIN FOR THE 100TH TIME. our timber is some of the best in the world because of the specie range. 1,000's of acres of 100yr old, planted timber few people know about.

So rather than meet the man and talk trees, Hawaii etc., you decided to hang around the hotel and torture defenseless lizards with your pasty little fruit hands?? Sounds about right..

Eh, you know like you know how it would go on the day we ever meet and to demonstrate how these hands actually work on your head. Giddy giddy giddy, hey we'd have a good work out day. You'll tell me about the constellations floating around in your little head. We'll have a Gweat ol' time.

You can't swing the thing worth a danm. Reality check. So now tell us about the firearm that's got my name on it too because that's the only one you'll ever carry well again, pops.
