This came out at the perfect time. Thanks Oscar. We are heading to Maui for five days and then the big island for 5 days leaving on Monday. Is there anything not on the list that I should visit? Anything good in season I should be looking for on my farmer market visits?

In Maui you should go to Ono farms in Hana. In Hilo go to bayfront farmer's market early morning saturday or wednesday. Right now there's plenty of lychee, mangosteen, jackfruit, rollinia, cacao, mamey, mango, and a few others.

Honolulu botanical garden (Foster's), and Ho'omaluhia botanical garden. Chinatown vendors sometimes have interesting fruits. If you have time the best is to go to Frankie's nursery in Waimanalo. He often has fruits for sale also.

just got back from oahu. usually i just hit up china town for fresh fruit. mangoes plenty...prefer white piri over all others. beware of vendors just trying to sell you mangoes and other fruits when you inquire how ripe it is.

lychee's were good...and longan was excellent...if you could find it. strangely it was really hard to find. had to go back multiple days to come across it. only one stand with jackfruit.
