Coffee as a hedge
#12
HPP4Me: No leaves for me. I am thinking of something more along these lines until I get my hedge filled in, if you know what I mean and I think you do. I have the same question that you do about cacao/chocolate. I am thinking it MIGHT be okay in this location, because the hedge itself shades the plant behind it for part of the day. Hedge runs parallel to Paradise Drive (in orientation -- we are not close to Paradise Dr.)

CAREY: I just love the idea of edible or usable hibiscus. The purple one sounds pretty nice. I do have hibiscus along there and they are doin just fine.

Mella: It's pretty smoky and hot down here today! Hope all is well where you are. I am going to put lilikoi on or near my backwall....once I get a backwall (or fence -- I am completely mystified as to how Rob got his fence up so quickly -- I need to ask him who did that).

Both cats: I am liking this coffee thing more and more. The hedge is a semi-shady area because of the orientation, but I imagine my climate is pretty similar to yours Cat.

Shekelpal: Crazy neat idea! I love the look of those cacao plants. Hawaii Tropical Fruit Growers is really focusing on these. Apparently, cacao grows really well right up to the 20th parallel. There is a move afoot to make cacao a viable specialty agriculture on Hawai'i Island. The processing is pretty intense, but the plants are very green and beautiful. I think they are going to make it into the mix. I e-mailed the chair of the cacao section of HTFG (there is such a thing), so I will see what she says about my location.

Mitzi: I'm not the one who is going to be doing any handstands if anyone. I just want my guests to be able to feel free to do those! I love the look of alahe'e, and I do want to create a little island of natives to the greatest extent possible. Home Depot (I Know!) has a little natives section. I planted one in my front garden in June, but it had croaked by October. I think the rainy season is probably a better time to plant and run.

Alright, everyone. I think it is going to be coffee. I have some other gaps and I think I am going to try cacao, too and an alahe'e, too. Plenty of gaps, but only one right in front of the pool and patio. This forum never fails. I promise to actually see some of you next time I come over.
