Hawaiian Electric Company and its partners will give away 2,700 trees and shrubs on Saturday, November 3, at six locations across the island.

You can select from a variety of popular fruit trees, flowering shrubs, palms, and native plants. Featured for the first time are gardenia Aimee Yoshioka, munroidendron, and red sealing wax palm.  

Certified arborists and volunteers from Hawaiian Electric, Kaulunani Urban and Community Forestry Program, U.H. Urban Garden Center, Wahiawa Botanical Garden, and Waimea Valley will be on hand to assist you in selecting the plant best suited to your needs. You will also receive planting tips to help cool your home and to avoid the risk of having the young tree grow into overhead power lines.
