Fern Acres is above 1200'. and prob is too wet and cloudy for good pineapple, papaya, banana, mango
unless you have wide-open areas with cinder.
I have many great avocado trees that produce 300-500 per yr total... , but my soil is not normal its brought to my property by the river that cutdown from Mauna Loa to Shipman beach area..... ie the bridge across SKulani Rd at beginning of FA and HA is same river.
...
maybe try grow our endemic 'blueberry/huckleberry/cranberry' ie our Ohelo berries, same nutrition......
if you want dark purple ones go to north side Mauna Kea, if you want the red or yellow or swirl kine go to saddle or HVNP/Kau desert area if you want insipid red ones try grow wet forest tree kine Ohelo found all over upper Puna above about 2K'especially up at the prison/Kulani cone area
also try endemic strawberries that are found wild upon the saddle. I have all of these at my place in HA 1,100' elev
the banana guy is bananahead
he is ALSO 1 expert on all endemic chit... and the natural history of Owhyhee
