Who is Kanoa Hawaii?

Proudly grown in Hawaii

Headquartered in the tropical small town of Hilo Hawaii, we are a family business. We’ve been doing this since the 1970's and built our first nursery in the 1980's. Growing plants for you to have in your home is something we enjoy!

We grow primarily for wholesale. You’ll find our plants in gift shops all around the state of Hawaii, and also in a couple of shops in Washington and California during the spring/summer seasons. The plants we grow are young, and are sought after by those who want a living souvenir from Hawaii. If you’ve ever been to Hawaii, you know that taking plants out of Hawaii requires special certification from the Hawaii State Department of Agriculture, which we have. Our certificate number is #0102.

Since we’ve been doing this for some time, it’s not uncommon for us to hear from those who have bought our plants decades ago and who still have their plant today! More than once, folks have told us that they bought a coconut or a ti plant or plumeria while on their honeymoon, and now they want another one to give to their child for his or her honeymoon. Talk about full circle!

Hawaii is a special place, it's like nowhere else on earth. And we want to share this wonderful paradise with you!
