Some more interesting stuff...
Here is the USDA MAP. For lower areas of Hilo Puna... The zone says 12-15. Tho, the highest I've seen is 10.

It's interesting we have a Fig tree in Waianae that produces crap loads of figs and our property is only a few blocks from the beach. I can't imagine lower puna being warmer than the west coast of Oahu.
I'm going to have my Mom or Dad send me some Figs from the tree and see if I can grow them from seed. Should be an excellent producer for here I think.
NOTE:
Remember that the measurement of fruit tree chilling is difficult; chilling requirements are almost always approximate. Also that some varieties may crop sufficiently to satisfy a home grower or fruit hobbyist with chilling less than stated.
