Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii - A sign in the Kahuku unit of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park warns visitors about a disease threatening the Ohi'a tree (Metrosideros polymorpha). A fungal disease, Rapid Ohi?a Death, threatens the trees on Hawai's Big Island. Dead trees that have been cut to stop the spread of the disease are covered by a tarp. The Ohi'a is endemic to Hawaii.
