I would like to have several red and yellow and bring them back to our property...our street used to be bursting with ohias before they ripped and rolled it.

The fellow who lived in our old house before us transplanted a red and yellow ohia in the front yard. They bloom at different times and seem to have different branching habits somewhat. The yellow ohia seems to have a greyer colored bark, too.
I did see a lovely orange ohia up in Honokaa and I may see if they would let me air layer that one. Not that I really need more trees in my yard, though!

Richard, aloha! I think I may just go ahead and try the rooting method from a clipping as suggested in one of the publications before I try the air layering technique. I am grateful to you again for this info!
Love & Light,
Carrie
