Aloha!

While researching something else, I stumbled upon this:

http://www.agroforestry.net/tti/index.html

It has a free download of a PDF publication of data sheets for traditional Pacifica trees/bushes. They are individually available, or the entire set (849 pages) can be downloaded.

Tons of valuable info. I hope you can use this...enjoy.

Wow this is fantastic- just had a look at the Mango .pdf, there is more info than almost any dedicated tree book that I've found.

Thanks for the great resource-

Thanks for sharing these PDFs. What a wonderful resource. Click around on the site for more. I just spent hours reading about breadfruit. Such a wonderful and versatile fruit! Very popular in the countryside in Haiti.

Yes. They have a lot of valuable knowledge there. Most of it has a 'free download' option.
It is so nice to see agencies/organizations actually trying to help their residents.

Thank you for your posting this invaluable reference! I am on Oahu and am thrilled to find this free resource.
