PLENARY SPEAKER (8:15 – 9:00am)

LANDSCAPINg WITH NATIVES IN HAWAI‘I: THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURESpeaker: KāWIKA WINTER DIRECTOR, LIMAHuLI GARDEN AND PRESERVE

Kāwika Winter joined the NTBG in 2005 as the Director of Limahuli Garden and Preserve. Kalo and other plants that were significant to the early inhabitants, as well as na-tive species, make up the Garden's collections. Behind the Garden is the Limahuli Preserve where conserva-tionists and restoration biologists are

working to preserve species native to this habitat. Born and raised in the ahupua‘a of Wai‘alae, Kona, O‘ahu, Kāwika grew up in the islands with the mountains and the ocean as his playground. He went to the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa (UHM) where he received a B.A. and an M.S. in botany. He is currently working on the completion of his Ph.D. from UHM which focuses on the reciprocal influences that cultures and plants have on each other’s evolutionary trajectories

Presentation: Limahuli Garden and Preserve is a 1,000 acre valley in northwest Kaua‘i that is home to more than 250 native plants, about 50 of which are on the verge of extinction. Limahuli is known for its habitat protection of pristine, montane cloud-forest; cutting edge restoration projects in highly-degraded lowland forest; and a botanical garden in the mouth of the valley that played a key role in the genesis of the native-plant movement in Hawai‘i. We will explore the successes we have had in connecting conservation, education, cultural perpetuation, and landscaping.

SESSION 1 (9:05 – 10:00am)

SOMETHINg OLD, SOMETHINg NEW (9:05-9:30am)Speakers: RICHARD CRILEy AND ALbERTO RICORDI

Richard Criley is Emeritus Professor in Horticulture and Albert Ricordi is a Doctorate student in Architecture, M.S. in Tropical Plant & Soil Sciences. Ricordi has been evaluat-ing some alternative species, both native and introduced, for landscape purposes.

Presentation: The mainland nursery trade is constant-ly coming out with new cultivars of landscape plants, while there are many tried and true varieties that are not in use because landscape designers have difficulty finding them. Dr. Criley would present some of the new introductions while Mr. Ricordi will report on his re-search with alternative species, both native and exotic.

ALTERNATIVE TREES PROjECT (9:30 – 10:00am)Speakers: JOHN MONTOyA, RICHARD CRILEy, ALbERTO RICORDI

John Montoya is a TPSS M.S. PhD student, Richard Criley, Emeritus Professor in Horticulture, and Alberto Ricordi, Doctorate student in Architecture.

Presentation: The overuse of a limited palette of trees in Hawaii landscapes led to the development of a research project in the Dept. of Tropical Plant & Soil Sciences to explore some trees of good potential but which have been less-used in residential, street and ho-tel plantings, and parks. The presentation will describe some of these trees, their advantages and disadvan-tages, and direct interested landscapers to a website that has been prepared to provide more information.

Part 1: NATURAL ENEMIES OF INSECT PLANT PESTSPart 2: NEW AND COMMON INSECTS OF LANDSCAPE PLANTS IN HAWAIISpeaker: WALTER NAGAMINE

Walter Nagamine is with the Hawaii Department of Agri-culture, Biological Control Section.

Presentation: Part 1: Natural enemies are respon-sible for control of many insect plant pests in Hawaii and are easily overlooked because of their small size and inconspicuous nature. being able to recognize parasitoids and predators will help you conserve natural enemies and make better decisions about insecticide use. Parasitoids are mostly wasps, while predators typically include ladybugs, green lace-wings, and hover flies. Parasitoids attacking pests such as whiteflies, aphids, psyllids, mealybugs and scale insects will leave evidence of their parasitic ac-tivity. For example, after the female wasp lays its egg in the body of the host insect, the wasp larva feeds and develops into an adult, which then emerges by chewing a distinctive circular exit hole. Another clue to the presence of parasitoids is the "mummification"

FEATURED SPEAKERS

of the host insect. Aphids, psyllids, and mealybugs that are parasitized will mummify, becoming bloated and turning to a brown color before the adult wasp emerges. Predators, on the other hand, usually don't leave clues to their presence because they either eat their entire host or suck the body contents and leave only shriveled remains. Recognizing the different life stages of general predators can be learned through observation of pest infestations to determine who is eating the pest. For example, the immature and adult stage of a ladybug are both predaceous, whereas a green lacewing is predaceous in its larval stage only. Natural enemies attacking the spiraling whitefly (Aleurodicus dispersus) is a good example of effective control by both parasitoid and predator. The combined effort of a parasitic wasp (Aleurocto-nus vittatus) and three predaceous ladybug species (Nephaspis bicolor, Nephaspis indus, and Delphastus catalinae) help to keep this whitefly under control.

Part 2: New insects to Hawaii sometimes become a problem when they arrive here to an abundance of host plants and without any natural enemies. Some recent invasive species and other insects commonly seen in the landscape will be discussed.

Presentation: Green Infrastructure has been an emerging method towards the goal of sustain-able water resource management. As part of this framework, ecological landscapes are essential as they emulate ecological services to perform in-frastructure needs for a development. Examples

include regenerative design methods that mimic ecological systems in nature to clean and recharge water such as constructed wetlands for onsite wastewater treatment and reuse and Low Impact Development best Management Practices to re-duce potable water use and recharge storm-water. When combined a facilities' landscape elevates to one that is ecologically appropriate and restorative.
