More than 3,000 CRB traps have been deployed around O`ahu to detect infestations. Infestations have also been detected on the North Shore from Mokuleʻia to Kahuku. 2013 at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam and has since been detected in West Oʻahu, from Māʻili to Pearl City and north to Kunia. Dead trees then become a safety hazard as they may fall unexpectedly after the trunk rots, potentially resulting in bodily injury or property damage.ĬRB was first detected in Hawaiʻi in Dec. Tree mortality after CRB attack has been reported to be anywhere from 10 percent to 50 percent. Secondary fungal or bacterial pathogens may also attack the wounds caused by CRB, thereby killing the tree as well. If CRB kill or damage the growing point of the palm, the tree may die. New unopened fronds are damaged in this way and when fully opened, may break and fall unexpectedly. ![]() In November 2020, the Chairperson of the Hawaiʻi Board of Agriculture issued another interim rule designating the Island of Oʻahu as an area infested by CRB ( Oryctes rhinoceros).ĬRB is a serious pest of palm trees, primarily coconut palms, as the adult beetles bore into the crowns of the palms to feed on the tree’s sap. The rule, which is now in effect, includes but is not limited to materials like “entire trees, green waste, compost, mulch, trimmings, fruit and vegetative scraps and decaying stumps of palm and palm-related plants,” the State says.
