Puako Home Sales / Kohala Coast Properties

Native Plants are becoming more and more rare in the islands. We hope people will think of this when arranging the types of plantings and shrubbery for their new homes or remodels. Palms do very well in the more arid regions along the coast. Pineapple can be used as a decorative plant or as an edible addition to the garden area. The fun thing to do is buy the pineapple, cut the top off , and throw it in a pot with a little water and watch it grow.

Water is pretty expensive on the Big Island so we hope Xeroscaping will become more main stream. Water conservation is becoming more and more a pressing issue as this islands new home population explodes. Xeroscaping is easy to do and relatively inexpensive to grow compared to bringing in plants that do not grow well without water in this area. Drought tolerant plants really do look nice , I personally like it better than a regular grass yard becuase the maintainance is so much less involved.

When I was in Las Vegas I really did see some nice ways to conserve like grid watering hoses for grass yards and recycled water fountains. This is a horitculturist dream island and the potential for companies to provide more native plants has no end due to the abundance of local varieties. Please support the local plants.
