The "Good Dr's" elevation is almost ideal for any type of horticulture.
Dr Weatherford do you have a water well? or how do you keep things watered ?
About 3 years ago I bought some mangoes from a local kid who had collected them from around Puna. He had a little set up at Maku'u that he was working with another kid.
I didn't try one but the kid said it was good and he would be here the next day if I went home and ddn't like them, for my money back.
I have lots at about 900' elevation in Orchidland and about 1/2 " of soil. I threw a soil/fresh hay bowling ball size glob of wet dirt in a crack. On top of that I threw the whole mangoe, then just piled dirt on top of that. I'm not sure how it's gonna turn out, but we'll see if anything comes of it.
Is there a "general rule" about mangoes ? like? size , color, shape being quality indicators ?
Harbor Freight had a rediculous offer on drip irrigation sets. $4 for a 100' set with approx. 14 emmiters or something in case that helps with watering.
