Thanks KeaauRich and Iju.
I just talked to him and he wants a rainbow shower tree. Apparently it was $250 at a nursery in Kona (the one by Costco), because it's grafted. I will check out Rozette's. I doubt he wanted to come to Kurtistown, or HPP, but he might need to.
Paklan Is a great tree IMHO. Also known as michelia champaca, alba variety? I bought a smallish five gallon one for $79, and in two years in Hilo it had become a healthy broad and tall shade tree. Intoxicating fragrance. Doubt it would thrive with arid winds.
Puakenikeni is a nice tree, and works on the west side too, but it grows so slowly.
When I think of a nutmeg tree I think of the old nursery rhyme, My Little Nut Tree. [

I would like to get a good avocado tree, so maybe I'll go. Citrus I have up the wazoo.
btw, Plant It Hawai'i sells the apple trees that fruit in Hawai'i. Anna and Golden Dorset. Mine are doing great. The Anna has a lot of fruit; the Dorset is basically the pollinator that doesn't fruit very well but enables the Anna trees to bear.
