Re: Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii
Hi Yug,
The only Hawaiian ones I have ever seen for sale here are Popolou, Hua Moa, and Red Iholene. I have a list of some other non-Hawaiian varieties I'm trying to get in addition to Ele Ele. I friend of mine who works at a nursery in Hilo has called his sources and none have any of the ones I want. With some of mine, who knows what they really are, since some have so many names. I've read that Misi Luki is really Mysore, but my Mysore is totally different, with red undersides. Sucrier, I haven't been able to find much on over than it being a type rather than a specific variety, and all my Apple are probably really Brazillians-both dwarf and non. It's amazing how difficult it is to find more than the same few varieties or even Hawaiian varieties here in Hawaii. It seems I could get my hands on more Hawaiian varieties very easily if I lived on the mainland where they can be shipped to from elsewhere on the mainland.
