Hello exotictropicals-
Well, I don't live in Hilo, but have visited Hilo. I'm actually on the windward side of Oahu. About your plumeria inquiry, I don't beleive you will have any problems with growing plumeria here on any of the islands. I would guesstimate that 3 of 5 homes with yards have at least one plumeria tree in them. Hilo has a lot of rain. More probably than any other town in the state. However I have seen many plumeria in Hilo and they flourish well in the area. I think you will just need to take into consideration the there will be a lot of rain. Orchids would be a great consideration as well as gingers, ferns, anthiriums and even ti. |
