I'm Dan Lindsay, a 9-year resident of Hawai‘i living with my wife just north of Hilo on Hawai‘i Island on 4.6 acres. I'm a retired school teacher from Washington State, loving the rural lifestyle I now enjoy. My property was once cane land which was in pasture from sometime in the '80s till I got it in 2000. I'm planting a sort of mixed orchard on some of the land.

I have a few old Williams-type bananas which were on the property when we bought it, and about 30 Brazilian Apple bananas I've planted myself. I also have a brand-new Silk Fig and a Kluoy Kai (Thai) that I got from Ano Taglitz at Gaianursery down in Puna.

I'm interested in getting some of the ancient Hawai‘ian varieties, but all I ever see in the garden stores or nurseries are Williams and Brazilian Apple. Anybody have any ideas for me?
