Aloha and Welcome to the HawaiiFruit.net

The pictures and data on these pages are from more than 30 years of work on the Big Island. There is a wide range of harvest times due to the many elevations and locations where the fruit trees are found. Year to year rainfall also makes a difference in when fruit is available. These pages are drafts and for review and comment. Please feel free to send me your comments and criticisms. I will update the individual sections when I can.
