Removing a designated exceptional tree in Mililani Mauka requires a Parks and Recreation permit under ROH Chapter 40, Article 8.
Mililani Mauka's younger master-planned landscape mostly features shower, monkeypod, and plumeria trees planted in the past few decades, but some legacy or signature specimens may appear on the Oahu Exceptional Tree Register. ROH Secs. 40-8.1 through 40-8.9 prohibit removal or destruction of any listed exceptional tree without a Department of Parks and Recreation permit. Section 40-8.7 governs the Register, Sec. 40-8.8 the regulations, and Sec. 40-8.9 a narrow emergency exemption. Street trees on Meheula Parkway and neighborhood loops are regulated separately under ROH Sec. 10-1.4. The state Exceptional Tree Act in HRS Chapter 58 provides additional backing.
Unpermitted removal of an exceptional tree in Mauka can lead to misdemeanor charges, mitigation planting, and arborist-assessed restitution.
