This article is on a demonstration park for a culinary school on 12 new tropical fruit trees for Kona, Hawaii. It is a project from Western Sustainable Ag Research and Extension, with cooperation from USDA-NRCS.

The first two paragraphs state ==>

" Farmers in Hawaii are learning about new crop options and conservation strategies from an ambitious new project known as “12 Trees,” a demonstration site featuring a dozen tropical tree fruits with commercial potential. The SARE-funded project, which has been embraced by the community for its uniqueness as well as its unexpected status as a tourist destination, received a boost when California NRCS District Conservationist Jeff Knowles joined the team managing the site. "

" To start, farmer and organizer Ken Love solicited input from chefs to identify 12 tropical tree fruits, such as loquat, pomegranate, mysore berry, tropical apricot, figs and more, that show commercial potential. Then, project leaders and volunteers planted trees on a demonstration site where farmers and researchers could learn about production methods -- and tourists and local residents could come to see, taste and buy unusual fruits.
