Hale Kua Gardens - Tropical Arboriculture
Your hosts, Bill and Cathy Cowern would love to share their vision of developing a tropical timber arboretum on Kauai, graced with many species of tropical fruit and flowering timber trees. Below are some of the exotic tropical trees on their 8-acre property.
Oil palms thrive from the natural fertilizer provided by a nearby albizia tree.
