fyi... Zero people here have wild ʻĀkala / Hawaiian Raspberries in their yard.. Zero!
they live too high. are too rare, and no one lives up where 'they' naturally live.
ʻĀkala lives in deep Hapuu wet forests... 99% native kine
closest people to ʻĀkala will be those on edge of Volcano Village
ie HVNP O'laa Forest Reserve on Wright Rd. on edge of Kau/Puna
key...
ʻĀkala = Large Bright Pink Flowers, larger leaves, no true thorns, large egg shape fruit 2+" long either Yellow, Red, or dark Red variants.
All invasive rubbish = White Flowers and lots of Thorns, fruit smaller and rounder black, red, yellow, etc.
