Ohelo (Vaccinium reticulatum Smith) is a small,
native Hawaiian shrub in the cranberry family, commonly found in disturbed, open sites at 2000 to 12,000 feet (640 to 3700 m) elevation on Maui and Hawaii. People frequently scour the landscape where it occurs, disrupting fragile habitats to harvest its delectable berries for use in jam, jelly, and pie filling. This impact on delicate environments might be reduced if ohelo berry could be cultivated and marketed to meet demand for the fruit. This publication describes nursery and field procedures for growing out ohelo seedlings and gives
protocols for vegetative propagation of ohelo both from
cuttings and by tissue culture.
