Do these trees grow in Hawaii? I have been looking for a reference all night. They are tropical and I was hoping where chocolate and vanilla grow, a ylang ylang tree could grow. They remind me of many native blooms on Hawaii. Thank you for any direction!

Cananga odorata
(Lam.) Hook.f. & Thomson

Cananga odorata, commonly called Ylang-ylang (pronounced /#712;i#720;læ#331; #712;i#720;læ#331;/[1] EE-lang-EE-lang), cananga tree, ilang-ilang, kenanga (Indonesian), fragrant cananga, Macassar-oil plant or perfume tree),[2] is a tree valued for its perfume. The essential oil derived from the flowers is used in aromatherapy.

Artabotrys odoratissimus, ylang-ylang vine,[3] and Artabotrys hexapetalus, climbing ylang-ylang,[4] are woody, evergreen climbing plants in the same family; A. odoratissimus is also a source of perfume.[3]
