garden exchange will get you anything they dont have, pretty fast and most fruit trees come from either plant it hawaii or royal palm enterprizes. also paradise plants carries alot of nice trees.
if you have a chance to get a tour of floribunda palms you will be overwhelmed, as is austins nursery palms both in Hawaiian acres and members of the big island palm society. i do occasionally get plants out at makuu but also find vendors that really dont have the correct answers, but then.... the island is so full of microclimates it seems you always take a bit of a chance. also... make sure you dont ask "will it grow here?" when what you want to know is "will it produce fruit here?"
