Hi Kim, if you see this older post...
on the Pritchardia (Loulu), 2 of the 5 different endemic kind naturally only found on this island only naturally live in wet and very wet areas, the Beccari's Loulu (aka Volcano Loulu or Kilauea Loulu) is only endemic (only place in the World naturally found) to the Volcano Village area and Kulani Prison area and across to Saddle Rd (said to be about 1,000 wild plants est.), some consider it the most attractive of the 20+ different species in the state. I have 4 (5 yr olds) of these Becarri's on my place in Hawaiian Acres.

and the other Loulu that grows well in wetter non coastal areas is the Wooly Loulu, endemic to 3 spots on this island only... in wet upland hills of Kau dist above Pahala etc. and in hills on Hamakua on east side of Mauna Kea, and in Waipio Valley area, mainly in the upland boggy plateaus. said to be 350 est. in the wild. I have 17 of these Wooly's growing on my place in Hawaiian Acres, but still young, fastest grower of the limited (8-10) Loulu species Ive grown.

on a side note last time I saw, the Koaia in front of the Pahoa Police Station is doing great... its in a raised planter box at 605' elevation. I have 6 keiki from it going well so far... 1' tall
ps here is a cool usgs page for seeing great large maps of what might grow well in areas. ps. Its VERY exaggerated, and the real range on most all species will be far far less... but it can be helpful
ie

the real range is about 1/3 of the green area... from Ola'a/Volcano Village area across Kulani to Saddle Road Kaumana area, only
