come into bearing in less than 12 to 15 years, although, as in 
the case of the Litchi, there are records of seedling trees having 
come into bearing much earlier. 
These last two facts, namely, the insistence upon shade and the 
tardiness in coming into bearing, may account for the fact that 
the species has not been established in Hawaii. A few plants 
were introduced several years ago and may still be developing. 
The tree is not a very easy one to ship long distances, but with 
methods recently developed for the packing of the seeds, it 
would be possible to ship considerable quantities of seed for 
trial in Hawaii. There should be no danger in the introduction 
of these seeds as they are not known to harbor any diseases 
or insect pests. The trees, after being started, should be planted 
out in a coconut plantation or under the shade of other trees in a 
location of sufficient moisture supply to be satisfactory for 
coconut growing. There can be little doubt that the climate of 
Hawaii would be warm enough for the lanzon since it is found 
in the Philippines, not only at sea level but at considerable eleva- 
tion. I have seen it on the rolling plains of Bukidnon in Central 
Mindanao at 740 meters (2486 feet) above sea level where it 
was reported to fruit in season. 
If Hawaii desires to make further trial of the lanzon I could 
send a supply of seeds from the next season's crop, subject to 
Federal Horticultural Board permit.
