Maui 



Makawao. At elevations between 2,000 and 4,000 feet. 

 Trees are rather slow growing, 40 to 50 feet in from 

 15 to 20 years. 

 Kauai 



Kalaheo. Trees planted at an elevation of between 900 and 

 1,000 feet. 



E. globulus, Labill. Blue gum. 



The tree grows well in practically all parts of all the islands 

 at almost all elevations but does particularly well at alti- 

 tudes higher than 1,000 feet. The tree grows in windy 

 localities but in such places it is of very poor shape. 

 Maui 



Makawao. At an elevation of from 2,500 to 3,000 feet trees 

 are growing very well. Trees 4 years old are now 

 about 25 feet high. 



At elevations of between 500 and 2,000 feet trees are grow- 

 ing rapidly. 



At an elevation of 4,000 feet trees 35 years old are 30 to 36 

 inches in diameter and 65 to 75 feet high. 



At an elevation of 5,300 feet trees 5 years old are 4 to 9 

 inches in diameter and 40 to 45 feet high. 



For additional notes and diameters at different ages see 

 Table I. 



Blue gum produced fertile seed when 25 years old at an 

 elevation of 4,000 feet. In the same place fertile seed 

 was produced by a tree only 12 years old. 



Hawaii 



Kukaiau. Trees 14 years of age at an elevation of 4,000 

 feet are 15 to 24 inches in diameter and 100 to 130 feet 

 high. 



Pahala. At an elevation of 1,800 feet shade trees near the 

 "Stone Field" are remarkably tall and straight and from 

 20 to 35 inches in diameter. Age unknown. 



Waimea. Trees can not stand the strong wind. At an 

 elevation of 2,700 feet trees 5 to 6 years old are only 3 

 to 15 feet high.
