ROH Chapter 40 Article 8 protects exceptional trees in Pearl City through City Council removal approval and DPR alteration permits.
ROH Chapter 40 Article 8 establishes Honolulu's heritage-tree framework, including definitions (Section 40-8.2), the Arborist Advisory Committee (Section 40-8.3), the exceptional-trees register (Section 40-8.7), and emergency provisions (Section 40-8.9). Pearl City hosts several mature specimens in older subdivisions and on historic parcels that may be designated. Removal or destruction of a designated exceptional tree requires prior City Council approval; alteration requires a permit from DPR. Military families relocating into Pearl City should check for exceptional-tree designations before any major yard work.
Unauthorized destruction of an exceptional tree in Pearl City can trigger significant fines, mandatory replacement, and civil liability investigated by DPR and the Arborist Advisory Committee.
