First orchard trees

Friday 3/4 I went to Hakalau and planted the first trees in the orchard section of the property, here's what went in.
2 ulu- 1 rare autia(tahiti), 1 lipet(pohnpei)
1 avocado - kainaliu
1 grapefruit - flame
1 Mango - Tommy Atkins
1 Mangosteen + 1 lemondrop mangosteen for rootstock.
I also planted another row of koaia(~80 trees)

I drove up Chin Chuck and checked out Kalai Aiona at Mahiai ihi o Wailea, an organization with 20 acres who plan to grow maile under a native understory.  Their maile greenhouse was impressive but they were having trouble getting their native trees established.  I will keep in touch so we can learn from their experiences.

I also met with Kuulei and will be repairing a ~150 ft. section of his barbed wire fence in exchange for using his mower.
