I'm visiting friends on Oahu - Kaaawa to be specific - and the lady of the house has expressed an
interest in getting a mango tree. So, we are tentatively planning to go out and get one at a local nursery, maybe on Monday. They live right on the beach, driveway is off Kamehemeha Hwy, and my big concern is the constant prevailing winds they have in the large front yard of their property which blow through the house non-stop. On the back side of their two story property is about a 8-10 strip of land. That seems like the logical place to plant it, but it would be right next to the building and get that reflected afternoon sunny heat, maybe not an issue out here, especially with that wind...
Anyway, I'm thinking that's the logical place for it, but any advice Oscar, or anyone else has who understands the local conditions around here would be appreciated. Also, advice on which variety of mango to buy, where near here to buy it, and any other thoughts would also be welcomed....
Thanks, guys......gary
