    <descript>
      <abstract>This data release includes metadata and tabular data that describes the location, diameter and treatment date for each ohia (Metrosideros polymorpha) involved in the study. Overall, 27 trees were selected for inclusion in the study. Six were inoculated with Ceratocystis lukuohia and three were not inoculated and acted as controls, at each of three study sites.</abstract>
      <purpose>The purpose of this dataset is to uniquely identify individual trees included in the study and provide information relating to location, treatment type, date treated and diameter. These data can be associated with data provided in the other six data files.</purpose>

    <datacred>We thank Theo Black and Josie Tupu for help in the field. We also thank Dustin Swan of the Big Island Invasive Species Committee for felling and sectioning trees. J.B. Friday and Susan Miyasaka generously provided laboratory space at the University of Hawaii at Manoa Komohana Research and Extension Center. Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources invertebrate collection and state forest access permits were issued by Cynthia King and Steve Bergfeld, respectively. We thank Craig Blaisdell for his continued support of ROD studies and access to the Keaukaha Military Reservation. This study was supported by U.S.D.A. Forest Service, Hawaii Division of Forestry and Wildlife, and the U.S. Geological Survey Biological Threats and Invasive Species Program.</datacred>

        <procdesc>At each of the three study sites, six asymptomatic ohia of similar size to other ohia within the site were selected and randomly assigned to be either inoculated with C. lukuohia or left untreated and monitored as controls. Inoculation of these nine trees (three trees per site) took place on 10 January 2019. Subsequently, a second set of three asymptomatic ohia trees was inoculated with C. lukuohia at each site on 24 June 2019 for a total of six inoculated trees per site. These additional trees were also similar in size to other ohia at each site.</procdesc>
