Abstract
A review on Ficus species, their importance as landscape trees, their major insect pests in Hawaiʻi, a trunk injection system and its application in Hawaiian landscapes to protect trees was conducted. Ficus species are common landscape trees in Hawaiʻi, among which Chinese banyan, Ficus microcarpa, and weeping banyan, Ficus benjamina, are most widely grown. To protect these trees from recent insect invaders, Chinese banyan stem gall wasp, Josephiella microcarpae Beardsley and Rasplus, leaf gall wasp, Josephiella sp., and lobate lac scale, Paratachardina pseudolobata Kundo and Gullan, we investigated the feasibility of a trunk injection system using systemic insecticides as a management option in the Hawaii urban landscape.
