Agroforestry at the Amy BH Greenwell ethnobotanical garden

            In ancient times the agricultural system of upland Kona on Hawai'i island would have resembled this scene. 'Ulu or breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) is the main food producing plant, with mai'a or bananas also being important. The hala or Pandanus at the right of the photo yielded leaves for weaving into mats while the 'awa (Piper methysticum) and 'olena or turmeric (Curcuma domestica) were used medicinally. The two large palms are Pritchardia maideniana that are native to the area. Leaves were sometimes used for thatch and the green fruits can be eaten like baby coconuts.
