LONG-FORGOTTEN ORCHARD

Deciduous Trees Planted Long Ago Success
Apples, Plums, Pears, Apricots, Cherries and

It has long been matter of spirited
discussion-tne fitness of Hawaii for
the growth of deciduous fruits. The

ought to grow here and there is no
reason why they shouldn't to which
the man of practical experience replies

May I make contribution of fact

At one time in the history of the
HumuuIa Sheep Handsome twenty
odd years ago-the headquarters of the
ranch were transferred from Kalaieha,
on the south side Of Mauna Kea to
Keanakolu on the east side, immediate
Ix above OokaIa, at an elevation of
about 5000 feet. During the oceupa-
ton of Keanakolu small orchard of
perhaps an acre in extent was planted,
consisting of apples, plums, pears, apri-
cots, cherries and peaches-two or three
varieties of each. The primary of Ke,
anakolu was shortlived, the place was
soon abandoned, and with it the or
chard which ran to weeds and long gray
moss, but fortunately was kept fenced.
Neglected and forgotten, the trees,
however. kept on growing, and of late
years there have been fabulous stories
afloat of trees there laden with delicious
fruit While IN Hamakua recently 1
heard these appetizing tales of won
drous things, and reviewing my earlier
knowledge of the place and the orchard
--eoncerning which I had been as skep-
teal as anyone-I made my way
thither. Unfortunately we were too
late for the plums and too early for
the apples, pears and cherries, but the
fruit was there in abundance and ap-
parently of excellent quality. The ap-
pies were mature enough to be excel.

ripe enough to eat out of hand The
commendable quality of them was char
acter, which is wanting in so much Of
the imported fruit.
We were told that it was an off year
comparatively small crop, but the
trees were as full as they could COM
fortably bear. Although unpruned and
uneultivated the trees were thrifty and
healthy, apparently quite free from all
disease.
In addition to these orchard fruits
there were bushels of Logan berries
just beginning TO ripen; in fact, the
Logan berry thrives so well, that I am
afraid some day it may become a
serious pest in that region. The strik-
ing success of this venture in fruit
growing suggests important possibilities
for thousands of acres on the uplands
