this is very interesting. I can report that 2,400 feet elevation in Ahualoa (96727) I planted apple trees Meyer lemon and seedling avocados in 1988, all of which have grown and produced. A pink grapefruit produced for several years and then died. and my next door neighbor plant and redwood trees in about 1992 which have all successfully grown to heights of about 25 feet. in addition a third of an acre of existing ash trees continue to thrive. my location get from 120 inches – 180 inches of rain a year and no wind.
I have moved to Pepe ekeo, and have 7 year old thriving honey tangerines, a producing star Apple, several producing Meyer lemon trees, and some lichee trees that seem to need more care than I give them. my neighbor is hugely successful with 20 acres of 5 varieties of dry land Taro. at the same elevation (650) and climate Richard Ha has his massive successful tomato and banana operation. Chinese farmers have been growing ginger root and purple sweet potato around here for 10 years. 96783 here.
