Growing Fruits in Hawaii,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Growing Fruits in Hawaii Also Herbs, Nuts, and Seeds: A How-To Guide for the Gardener (Paperback)
As a passionate gardener in cold New England, who is considering a future move to Hawaii, I have been seriously looking for reliable information on growing plants in this completely different climate.
This book is what I was looking for, written by woman who has farmed all of her life. She explains the altitude that different fruiting plants can tolerate, as well as sun exposure and rainfall needs. I consider it a bonus that I get a recipe or two along with the growing information.

This review is from: Growing Fruits in Hawaii Also Herbs, Nuts, and Seeds: A How-To Guide for the Gardener (Paperback)
THe book is all right, attractive, not very informative, and the author seems more interested in the kitchen than in the kitchen garden
