There are tons of lychees and mangoes on the Big Island this year. I'm sure they're making their way to Oahu. Ofcoruse you will have to pay inflacted city prices there. Durian you can probably forget it, wrong time. There are a few mangosteen flolating around, high priced as they're off season. Sugar apple not popular in Hawaii. Tons of rollinias though. Others in season: starapple, canistel, white sapote, brazilian cherry,mamey sapote, black sapote, green sapote.
im kinda pissed I'm missing lychee season this year
Sure looks like Kaimana...price is much higher than what Oscar eluded to.

Jackpot boys!!! Not sure what variety i got...thought i was buying Kaimana but this seed is much rounder and larger with noticeable acidity. 5.50 a pound!!! Worth it for me though.
If what you're eating has acidity it probably was picked too early. Lots of vendors pick them too early.

I browsed mulple street and marjet vendors in china town....the lychee price was firm...cheapest was 5.00 a lbs...you had some discolored marutis going for much cheaper....I passed on Mango this time...i saw some Pirie Mangos for 4.50 A lbs but decide On pure lychees...50.00 dollars worth purchased...should last a little while...next stop Fiji!!!
