Looking for rollinia/durian on big island HI
« on: November 17, 2021, 03:11:15 AM »
I'll be visiting the big island of hawaii this weekend and i'll be near kurtistown. Does anyone know where I could find rollinia/durian somewhere near that area?

I would check out the hilo farmers market. There were some venders with Rollinia and durian last weekend.
The best time to plant a fruit tree was 20 years ago. The next best time to plant one is now.

Might be able to find some at maku’u market on Sunday but Pam in Hilo is probably your best bet. She has a warehouse/ fruit store that is behind the KTA, near where the market used to be

here in Thailand both are readily available seasonally
durian out of season but rollina is in full swing  -lotsa seed available if you can't source locally
