Hilo area does, pretty much all of the hamakua coast is red clay soil. But fern forest has none. 6 inches of black silt ,sandy soil, from black lava rocks, washed downhill by the rain and settled here. I use only promix hp/bx, Coco coir fiber, coco coir chips, and perlite for all my figs 25% of each per mix. No figs in ground for now. I got 1,100 figs of 60 varieties known and unknowns in pots sized from 3-45 gal. So 96 figs that I'm not completely sure what they are is not that big a deal In the grand scheme of things. :)
