Judy, keep in mind that you will have to water your trees on occasion. We get droughts. At that time you must water your trees or they will die -- unless they are firmly established and several years old. Also, you don't have any running water in much of Puna.... neither Hawaiian Paradise Park nor Orchidland have county water except for some lots right on or near the highway.
Don't ask why, it has to do with the antiquated government here. You won't get used to it.
I live in Paradise Park near the highway but have no running water. Water comes from the house roof and goes into a tank. It gets into the house with a fairly simple electric pump. You must change filters frequently and other matters.
And when you have a drought and need to water your fruit trees you may find your water tank is low.
These are just some cautions that come to mind as I read the posts on your query.
Aloha from the middle of the Pacific Ocean
