ISO - Meli Kalima Honey Cream Pineapple
« on: June 17, 2025, 10:53:04 PM »
Does anyone have one of these plants rolling that would share material?  I reached out to Frankie's, and they no longer carry it.  It's almost as if this strain is going to die out before the patent runs out ...

They have it,
but it's under patent and is only being sold in HI.
I'd estimate several more years until they start selling it to people from mainland.

I'll have to check with them again, because when I last contacted them, they only had the #78.  I'm not asking for them to ship to mainland.  I would buy it local when on trip.

That's not good enough. They're gonna make you eat Spam, play the ukulele, and surf on a longboard to prove native Hawaiian birthright.

You can’t buy it local unless you live there as it’s under patent.
They are only selling to residents.
Idk why they stopped selling fruit though, I didn’t get to taste it when I was there.

I read they used to cut the tops off the fruit before selling the fruit to keep people from acquiring it

Yup, they do ID check.

BUT....




There are other varieties from that breeding project floating in the air.  I used to have j42 and couple others.
