Kiminpl, you are welcome and yes I am growing those. Be aware myoporum can grow over 40 ft tall - so - not necessarily a 'shrub' as you say. The cordia can work well in puna because of our well draining lava rock soils. The artocarpus fruit does drop yes. I find that they are all growing 'slow' relative to the monsters I am attempting to keep at bay around them... Tibouchina et al. However, I find a unique aesthetic beauty in each and appreciate that I am fortunate enough to caretake them. In some senses I may be a biased source, but overall I feel like they are 'performing' well - all things considered (my poor/ lack of soil, competition, extreme climactic events).
Alapaimike, very nice. Thank you for the information and links. I have a hard time keeping all the native hawaiian names straight but am attempting to remember all of their names also. Thanks for the reminders.
