good comments,
I was thinking about this.... (I dont live up there)
one clue I thought of... is there are no orchards of any types of fruit trees that far up the hill (that I know of), yet the land is cheaper overall... but there are many orchards down lower macnut, guava, noni, papaya, etc. etc.. I agree with the comments... Id say prime would be Orchidland area for best grow conditions overall.
Im at 1,200' and coconuts do very bad here, they are very slow on my property and mature trees are very rarely seen (they love salt and sand)... no way they would grow up there IMO.
PS.
one thing you can grow, that we cant down here, is the native blueberries (Ohelo), there are 2 that love to live up there
small bush type with slightly better tasting fruit
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccinium_reticulatum
tree type

save our indigenous and endemic Hawaiian Plants... learn about them, grow them, and plant them on your property, ....instead of all that invasive non-native garbage I see in most yards... aloha
