These pictures show three different plants from the popo'ulu subgroup. #18 is popo'ulu, #19 is another type of popo'ulu and #10 is hua moa. The pictures are from Joel Lau who is a well known Botanist, Rare Species Specialist and an expert in Hawaiian plants.

My neighbors Hopa flower's at about 8-10 feet. That is a few feet shorter than Hua Moa or Popoulu. I may prefer the shorter variety. We'll have to see how they taste ripe because I am not into going green. Not yet atleast.

A friend just brought home a honking bunch of what look like popo'ulu, green and fat. I know how to cook ripe plantains and will do that to most of them eventually, but any tips on cooking the green ones?

Thanks - I ended up testing nuking like a potato, OK, then steaming like taro corms (pressure cooker with 2 cups water, 10 min high, 10 med, 10 low) pretty good.
