I live near where you have purchased.I have been out here for 11yrs.Things have changed,like we have pavement.What do you want to know about out here?There is alot.For one,it is very wet,like seattle.If you don't have cinder or gravel in major traffic areas,you will be in mud.Also,toursits park at end of road to go hiking.This does bring the theif elemet into play.Most people don't leave their property unattended,and or have ferocious dogs.Most people have firearms as well.There are druggies,as well as theives.And wild boars.There is frequent gunfire out here too.It is a beautiful place.I love it don't get me wrong.But it is one of the roughest neighborhoods in hawaii.Also,a lot of people that hang out at the community lot are druggies and theives.Some will befreind you to rip you.This does not alppy to the roads group or the volunteer fire dept.And yes,most things grow well out here.Except mango and lychee will not fruit at this elevation.Also, peas and cantelope and apples will not fruit.But citrus, green beans ,
strawberries,bananas,taro, cabbage, and cucumbers do well.Corn and papaya will if you make deeper dirt boxes.They like to make deep roots.I also grow coffee,sugar cane,spinach,tapioca and pineapples.Well,look forward to you as a neighbor.Also,feel free to ask more.It is a unique place.Like ,yes solar and generators are the way to go out here.There is elec.hook up if you are close enough to that intersection.
