Default Re: Hawaii Breadfruit and Banana festival pics & comments

Rob, you beat me to the pictures! I too took detailed photos of the fruit to post. It was a great day. I got there at 8:00 AM. It was great to meet Gabe and talk. I spent a fair amount of time talking to Angela. I purchased her book at a nice discount. I unfortunately didn't see Rob. I tried to buy the Fe'i at 8:00 and they didn't want to sell it. I picked one up last month so I'm happy you got one. I think it was Chris Carters if it was in a three gallon pot. Everything else he had was bare root. I bought the following plants:
1. Mai'a Hapai (this was a pup from the gardens)
2. Dwarf Puerto Rican
3. Popuolu Red
4. Dwarf Iholena
5. Ele Ele (this was a pup from the gardens)
6. Tuu Gia (I'm not sure where they came up with this name)
7. Sekaki Papaya (ten small seedlings for $5.00)

The AeAe's were cheap but many of the other plants were a little pricey. It was for a good cause. The breadfruit in coconut cream was awesome. The food, the people, the weather, the plants and the content was well worth it. I look forward to next years! Rob, I will check my schedule tomorrow when I get in my office to see what would work for a visit.
Here is one picture of the fruit display:
