Residents meet at the county gym in order to defend the fruitful Waiawi, also known as Strawberry Guava, from a proposed biological control.
The government has considered introducing a Brazilian insect into the environment in the hopes that it would eradicate the invasive plant.
Locals, who have learned to live harmoniously with Waiawi and see it as a useful food source, oppose the measure.
