Hi Scott,

Impressive to hear that you are successfully raising montane plants from Hawai'i Island!

Temps get down to the 40's daily and sometimes freezing at 5000 ft. Any plant from those ares has to be tough to survive.

Koa grow up to about 7000 ft.; 'Ohi'a and Mamane can handle even tougher conditions.

Are you growing any other species?
