1st and Kaloli on a lot with natural uluhe and Ohia is going to be dry unless you bring in alot of soil.. fruit trees usually like more water and good soil..., check out whats growing nearby to the lot you have.... I know of one home on 1st there between Kololi and Paradise... they have good fruit trees but they also have alot of soil and thick water retaining lawns etc, its an older home.... the raw lots around it are infested with Autograph trees.. the Autograph trees can be a prob at times as the birds bring in the seeds and the trees often start in the crotch of an Ohia...
maybe try mango, avos, etc. the prob is if you are not there to water them in a drought, you may lose them, even a few years in when you think they are established, a good long drought can get them...
ps.
if you ever want native trees bushes or groundcover, these all naturally grow in that type of area.... Hala, Hala Pepe, 'Ohe makai, Maiden's Loulu, Ko‘oko‘olau (B.hawaiensis is native to Puna), Nehe, Kipuakai, Maiapilo, Pohuehue, Pa'uohi'iaka, Lama, 'Akoko, 'Awikiwiki, Wiliwili, Ka'e'e, 'Ohai, Naupaka kai, 'Ala'ala wai nui (Plectranthus parviflorus), Ko'oloa 'ula, Ma'o, Ma'o hau hele, 'Ilima, Naio papa, Pua kala, 'Ilie'e, 'Ulei, 'Akia, Alahe'e, 'Ili'ahi (Santalum ellipticum), 'Ala'a, 'Õhelo kai, etc.

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
