We are cutting trail for fencing and are taking out some Hapu'u ferns. Does anyone want some?
UPDATE: AUGUST 31
We have given away around 100 Hapu'u so far. They will be available one more week and then I will begin selling them on Craigs List. These are available at Home Depot for $15 to $20 each..... Contact us this week if you want to pick any up.

Okay, I got the tractor stuck in the mud and sliding into a crevasse... Called a friend to come help get it out and then got the truck stuck in a hole, high centered....
We got them both out but then it started raining so I took the rest of the day off. Just another day in Pammie Lamont adventures. Ha!
So today it is raining hard and my knee is fatigued from working yesterday... when the rain stops for a day I will be back out yanking the ferns.
Just call me on what looks to be a dry day and we can get you whatever you want.

Appreciate the offer of ferns and having someone save them, but just wondering, why are you yanking hapu‘u ferns, an important part of the native forest ecosystem? If you wanted cleared land had you thought of old cane lands, etc. There is lots of that and the county is now wanting to sell it at rock bottom prices.

The hapuu being cleard are predominantly to place a 10 foot wide path around the perimeter of my property to allow for fencing, which is required for my tax status of pastureland. I have literally hundreds and hundreds of these plants. Sharing them is to the benefit of all.

Will hapuu grow at 1000' elevation?
Shekelpal, where is this cheap land of which you speak? I assume Hamakua, but where specifically?

Shekelpal: Rather you than me when it comes to living on, or growing anything edible on, old sugar cane fields. With the amount of chemical fertilizer and weed killer dumped on that land over the years, those areas are second only to golf courses and commercial pineapple fields as the least conducive to safe human habitation. Apart from the ecological factors, I would not want any of my hard earned $$ to go to a sugar company, given their record of exploitation, continually moving to areas with cheaper and cheaper labor in order to maximize profit.

For those of you who contacted me... I got stuck in town a long time on today (Monday). I expect my work crew here for the next two days and we should have a fair number of hapu'u available by Friday or Saturday, so call me then and be prepared to come on up and get them!
Aloha.... it's nice to share.
