If they are growing well, enjoy them... plant more! They are beautiful native trees and a welcome sight at any elevation.
Today, I saw one of the rarer Hawaiian forest birds, 'Akiapola'au, foraging in its favorite tree, Koa. This was at around 6000', above the current bird malaria/mosquito skirmish line. Don't forget the native birds: if there's no favorite trees, they most likely won't come.
