Why Makawao Trees Are a Different Challenge Entirely?
Makawao sits on the northwest slope of Haleakala at around 1,500 to 1,600 feet elevation in zip code 96768. The name itself means “eye of the forest” in Hawaiian. The climate here is cooler, wetter, and mistier than the leeward side, a completely different environment from Kihei or Lahaina with its own unique tree problems.
What that means for property owners in Makawao, HI 96768:
- Eucalyptus trees are dying across the area from eucalyptus snout weevil and tortoise beetle infestations, making them structural hazards
- Cool, moist conditions accelerate fungal disease and root rot in susceptible species
- Upcountry winds are strong and unpredictable, especially above Makawao town toward Olinda and Piiholo
- Large properties and ranch land require a different approach than standard residential lots
- Fast-growing invasive species spread aggressively in the rich upcountry soil
- Trees near the Makawao Forest Reserve boundary require careful handling
