Aloha Denby and Readers!

It's discouraging to hear about mango theft and the chopping down of mango trees.  The most discouraging thing however is the fact that "modern developers" prevent owners from planting and growing mango and other fruit bearing trees.

We have two mango trees in our back yard and our neighbors share the crop each summer.  They also keep an eye out for thieves.  Maybe if the neighbors can come together to protect the local mango trees in their neighborhoods, wholesale theft of the fruit can be controlled.

As for the City and developers?  They need to change their mind-set about mangoes in Hawaii.

Malama Pono!
