*Permacopia* is an invaluable set of books on growing food plants written by local (Volcano) author D. Hunter Beyer.
She notes elevation and rain requirements for each plant, uses, and more.
bk. 1. Endemic, indigenous & Polynesian plant species of Hawai#699;i : including plants of the Ahupua#699;a
bk. 2. An encyclopedia of plants for a sustainable future in Hawai#699;i
bk. 3. The weeds : the plant species not appropriate for Hawai#699;i.
They may be available through library and used to be available at Basically Books or on Amazon, but they're not showing up in either online listing right now. Also, it looks like the books may have been consolidated into a single volume since I bought mine.
http://www.basicallybooks.com/gardening.html is Basically Books list of gardening books, looks interesting.
Might try Wi apples, guava, those local kine raspberries, mulberry. Those all do fine at 1500 feet.
