Our place in HPP came with some sort of "local" raspberry that the local kids who helped us do the first stage of yard cleanup pointed out. They are growing in shade but are leggy and have a mild but sweet flavor. Not much in the way of thorns which makes me think it may be endemic or long naturalized, the lack of grazing animals made thorns unneccesary in Hawaii so plants that made it here lost them over time.
The people who built our house planted a lot of interesting fruits so these probably came from them, and 15 years ago that side of the lot wasn't shaded by albezias. The lot was ripped, rocked, and rolled so nothing native was left, they did plant some red and yellow ohias for which I am grateful. Lots of white and yellow pineapples too. They are clearly not crossing.
