Ali’i Kula Lavender (AKL) farm, Kula, Maui, HI
Kula has a very unique climate. It is located at about 4,000 ft elevation on the slopes of the (currently dormant!) Haleakala volcano. The climate is very similar to coastal California, and it never freezes. The climate is perfect for Mediterranean herbs, Protea (a native flower of arid S. Africa), deciduous fruit trees, citrus, and vegetables common in coastal California gardens (such as lettuces, leafy greens, root vegetables, etc.).
