Three live adult coconut rhinoceros beetles (CRB) have been detected in traps in the Waikoloa area on Hawai‘i Island. The captures during the past week were the first detections of adult CRB on the island since six grubs (larvae) were found in October 2023, in a decaying palm tree by a resident in Waikoloa Village.
Question: There used to be a succulent garden where the public could learn about different plants that didn’t use much water, and sometimes they gave away mulch, but I don’t hear about it anymore. I think it closed during the pandemic. Will it reopen?
