Full StorySpeaking of new varieties, I will be ordering a Poamoho lychee today from Frankie's Nursery in Hawaii.
The Poamoho Research Station was the place where Hak Ip seedling that was very productive and regular, which came to be called Kaimana, was selected. That was in 1982.
Frankie himself recently selected another very productive, previously unnamed seedling (different than Kaimana), and named it simply Poamoho.
I will try to get more information on the "heritage" of this Poamoho variety when I speak with someone from the Nursery today.
I will be ordering 1 Kaimana and 1 Poamoho tree today from them. I will post pics when they arrive. They also have a variety called Sam Ut Hung, which sounded interesting (not because of the awful name) but then I read that the branches are very brittle and break easily, and that the fruit quality was just average. It is one of the earliest varieties in Hawaii which is what makes it desirable.
I will also be picking up a healthy looking Ohia from Pepe's this weekend.
