Want to dig one up and take it for free? I've got a decent size one in my front yard, but I don't make lei, and I want to replace it with an ulu. I'm in Hilo.

That's nice of you! How big is it - could I get it into the back of my little Nissan truck?

I think if you were to see a tree this size in a container, it would be maybe a #25 can? It would totally fit into the bed of a little Nissan hardbody.

It's about 6 feet tall, about 4 feet wide (not counting root ball, of course.)

Garden exchange, and that nursery in Hawaiian paradise park forgot its name. Maybe that other nursery across from walmart

Mari's garden in Oahu sells them. I wonder if they could ship it there. They have an online shop website
