Mini mango trees, 1867.

[Found under: “NU HOU KULOKO”]

A tiny mango tree.–At Kahapula’s1 place in the uplands of Kalihi, there is a short mango tree, its height not more than an iwilei.2 But it is amazing that while it is so tiny, it produces so much fruit. Should there be many of those mango trees in one place, there would be nothing more beautiful to see.
