Do you know any fruits that are native to Hawaii?
« on: February 24, 2024, 07:24:45 AM »
In Hawaii, many fruits grow, but most of them have been brought in from overseas. So, what are the fruits that have been in Hawaii since ancient times? 
I need your help.

Alkala and Ohelo are two that come to mind.

Sorry for the typo. It should have been Akaka or Hawiian Raspberry (Rubus hawaiensis). Ohelo is Hawaii's version of the blueberry.

Syzygium sandwicense (tried it)
Eugenia koolauensis

Some other minor fruits that aren't particularly notable

Both native to South America. Guava is invasive in Hawaii

How does Hawaiian raspberry taste? I bet it's heat tolerant
