Mahalo to Pam Hinsdale, a former FLA Treasurer, for donating ʻōhiʻa to us & many other organizations so that everyone on Oʻahu can grow this important native species!
Good luck! ʻŌhiʻa seeds often have a low rate of germination & you might lose seedlings due to over/under watering – so keep this in mind & donʻt be afraid to sow many seeds. If you have a few extra, they make excellent gifts!
