When to plant in Hawaiian Ocean View, HI
Planting dates worked out from Hawaiian Ocean View's own frost records, not a generic zone chart.
Frost is rare in Hawaiian Ocean View: in 19 of the last 19 springs there was none at all. Frost dates matter less here than heat, so the planting table below is left out.
Station used: S Kona 2 2.32 · 2.0 km away · station 695 m, town 480 m. How we match towns to stations
The station sits 215 m higher than the town, so frost dates here may be off by a week or more. Check them against local experience.
