Maui has several climates... so maybe you can get lucky with persimmon or blackberries.
On Oahu breadfruit is really going off, got rambutan shipped in from Kauai, dragonfruit is heavily producing, some varieties of avocados and mangoes are just starting to mature now.

I went in Nov/Dec 2018.  Drove for hours to get to Ono's farm looking for a star apple.  Not in season yet:(   The fruit varieties there were not great.

Just food for thought:  ask on the Hawaii tropical fruit growers Maui chapter fb page for tips.

I didn’t think there was much on Maui then all of a sudden my friend is posting up pics of keledang seeds he got from fruit from a guy on Maui.   So u gotta do some research!

Thanks, I will monitor that. Unfortunately I'd need to pay for a membership to ask questions about what I should be looking for, but hopefully people post some cool stuff

Try the farmer's markets, road side stands, Paia health food store Mana Foods.
