He mea kūlohelohe a ʻaʻohe ʻawaʻawa ka ʻohe, e lilo ia i koho palekana no nā pākeke a me nā keiki. Ma waho aʻe o kona mau pono olakino, ua ʻike ʻia hoʻi nā mea ʻai ʻohe no kona mau waiwai māmā a paʻa.

Hiki iā ia ke oʻo i loko o 3 a 5 mau makahiki, ʻoiai he mau makahiki e ulu ai nā lāʻau. ʻO ka ulu wikiwiki ʻana o ka ʻohe e lilo ia i koho hoʻomau a aloha i ke kaiapuni. Eia kekahi, ʻohi ʻia ka ʻohe me ka ʻole o ka pepehi ʻana i ka mea kanu, e ʻae ana iā ia e hana hou a hoʻomau i ka ulu ʻana. Eia kekahi, hiki ke palaho a hoʻohuihui ʻia nā ʻokiʻoki ʻohe. Ma hope o ka hoʻolei ʻana, e pala maoli ia i ka hala ʻana o ka manawa a hoʻi i ke kaiapuni me ka ʻole o ka hōʻino. ʻO kēia ka mea e lilo ai nā ʻokiʻoki ʻohe i mea ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o nā ʻokiʻoki plastik kuʻuna a i ʻole nā ​​​​ʻokiʻoki hoʻolei. ʻAʻole wale ka hana a me ka hoʻomau ʻana o nā mea ʻai ʻohe, akā hoʻohui pū ia i kahi pā o ka nani maoli i kāu ʻike ʻaina.
