I have a experience with Mai'a. Mai'a is a very good fruit. Mai'a is also called banana. Banana is yellow when it is ripe and when it is green it is not ready to eat. I had an experience with 'Ulu too. The 'Ulu fruit is green when it is ripe. The 'Ulu has little bumps on it. The 'Ulu can also be called Breadfruit. The Breadfruit tastes very disgusting to me. I also had an experience with Kalo. Kalo is also called Taro. Taro tasted better than the Breadfruit. I like Taro when it is pounded into poi. The color of the Kalo is purple. I have an experience with Ki. The Ki has no flowers on it. Ti is kinda green. I have a lot of Ki plants in my yard. The Ki is good for making lei's.
