Na'alehu area doesn't get near the rain that Puna gets. They have been in drought lately. If you want to clear an area for a campsite and for your fruit trees, you might be OK, but I wouldn't clear everything. Weed cloth around your trees will help, but needs to be weighted down because the wind over there can get serious. Start with a few prospects the first year. Best to visit at least twice a year.
