I enjoyed your walk around your lava lot. I hope you can learn to like avocados. I hope you never cut down another avocado tree. Animals will enjoy them and I'm sure your neighbors would appreciate them. Food is expensive and hard to come by these days for some people. I recall a Big Island resident falling into an unknown lava tube on his property in the backyard and disappearing. I guess his yard was lush and the tube was hidden. Thank you for sharing the interesting fact about the Ohia tree. I liked seeing the variety of plants growing out of cracks and crevices of lava. Mahalo 🌺
Wow! 3 years already? An excellent decision on your part to purchase the lava lot. (Although some viewers thought you were nuts at the time if I remember correctly.) It has brought hours and hours of enjoyment for you and all of us. The avos love the jungle section of the lava lot and so do we :-)
Everywhere you look always something new to see , the plants are doing so well and the tree moulds are just beautiful. If you crush the citrus leaf it will smell Like the fruit it bears .
I remember when I watched you plant some of those I don't know what the name of the plants were but it's amazing how those plants can just grow up out of that lava like that and thank you for sharing your lot and the lovely things that are growing on it and take care
It’s amazing what’s growing in the lava. I’m an avid gardener and didn’t know stuff could grow directly in the lava like that. Thought it would need some other organic matter. Fantastic.
Thanks for the visit and show . 😎👍 Really like the sound of your footsteps. Fortunate to have visited Hawaii 2x. And it reminds me of going hiking in the National park. Not a swimmer or drinker, spent most of my time hiking.
Thankyou so much Scott. The growth rate of the rejuvenation of the plant life is amazing in just 3yrs. Thankyou for walking us through it. What happened to the ohia tree in the top corner you planted first before the coconuts?
It's so cool to see how many different plants are thriving in your lava. I also always enjoy seeing the colors that flash so awesomely in the sunlight. Hope you didn't get wet Scott.
Wow! That was fascinating! It was awesome to see avacado trees, pineapple, aloe plants, all growing outside! Where I live, they would all be house plants! There were other plants I recognized but don't know their names. I thoroughly enjoyed this!
Neat to see how quickly plants can grow on the new lava. The wet climate of the northeast side of Kilauea must help. The new lava has plenty of minerals but no soil to store water.
I was there about 6 months or so before the lava flow ....the manager of Leilani Estate wanted a concrete pad for a home.. a hole dug in the lava for a concrete septic tank and he said he would fly his drone over everyones property to make sure they complied with those rules...seemed a bit much to me in that area...so I did not buy...I met a young couple that bought...had a clearing bulldozed and their family was helping them pay for itI think he said a uncle was going to park his boat there and use the close by launching ramp..I wonder if their land got covered I think it was in the area closer to the Ocean in LE......
Hello Scott! It's amazing to think in May it'll be 4 years since the eruption! Man time sure goes by fast as we age, trees get rings and we get wrinkles & rusty! Very nice of you to show us your lot again, very surprised some of those things are still growing! (I still would be hauling some soils, dead leaves, and such to put around some of your plants to invigorate and help them gain a better foothold in the crispy world of theirs.) I even started a 'Hawaii' fund for a vacation to visit the Big Island, you and your lot. But many things changed for the worse, not just for me but for many. So I had to use my vacation fund on utility bills and, cancel any or all vacations I'd planned. (Lost my job of 8 years just 2 months before the virus was let loose, the same week my van's motor blew and I lost an Uncle to Cancer.) ~ Anyway, I tried to be optimistic during these last few years but more bad luck followed my life's journey and, hit our family too. My little sister, Elizabeth Dian "Buffy" DeBolt passed away on September 4th, 2021 after 26 days on a vent. She would've turned 50 this past January 7th. We miss her dearly as her newly 8-year-old adopted Son does too, it's so sad to think what goes through his head after knowing his Father committed suicide in late 2018 and, now losing his Mother. ~~ Needless to say, life goes on, with us or without us. Just as your plants and flowers are trying to take back the lava field/lot. ~~~ Thanks again for sharing this update! (I still watch MANY of you and Charles videos I just don't comment as much as I used to.) Be well, stay safe and God Bless you & your family. *James* 2/4/2022 12:34am
Hya Bud, it is good to hear from you again. I really saw great video from you from 2018!!!!!!!! I did not see you for a long time. I am glad you are well. I wish you could get right out to #8 soon. I would love to see a real close up of that gosh darn monster!!!!' Wishing you well & happy new year. Aloaha friend, Ray C Florida
How does the lava field react to rain? Does it absorb the water or does it run off in channels? Btw I'd use some of the mulch your making and put it around your plants, especially your dragon fruit. The mulch will help retain moisture and act as an organic material that can be broken down over time, grass clippings from your house would be a huge help as well as they break down super fast and promote mycelium growth.
Dragon fruit growing is very cool. I have some dragon fruit growing here in Minnesota:) thanks for the tour the growth on your lava lot is amazing really
Where I live avos are rhe price of precious metals. And I do love them so. Our winter is too harsh so I have two tiny trees and never a fruit. Always some hail or frost killing off the baby fruit or yet again another extremity of the limbs. I think I could like living in Hawaii haha Flowers stunning. Thanks
Mornin Scott 🌤🌴! Sounds like the title of a horror movie "... the avocados that won't die ..." ROFL over my ☕. LL looks 💞. Whats that red pretty plant at 18:01? 🤗🐦🇨🇦
Seriously, though, are Avocados freeze resistent? Houston, Texas seems to be going through a period of Short-but-freezing winters... Also, if they'll take the lower altitude, and you can get some seeds or seedlings, maybe you could plant or transplant some silverswords?
Make peace with your avocado trees and take the fruit to a farmers market or donate it to a food bank. (P.S. I don't care for avocados either, so I understand why you'd want to get rid of them).
Dude do you know how expensive avocados are? Sell them! You will make a killing! And interesting that Puo O is going strong when USGS says there is NO activity except in Halemaumau crater. Hummmmmm

@ Carla I thought he was very clever from the moment he announced he had bought the lot😊
Thanks for sharing, very interesting
Thanks for posting the video, how amazing that the plants and animals grow so quickly after a cataclysm!!!! There are truly some magic spirits there.
Love that lava lot!!! You have given us sooo much information and beauty with our walks thru here. Thanks so much!
Avocados LOVE you SO much! You should open a farm...lol. 14" total snowfall here in Toledo. All shut down. Love to see the green as always!
Everywhere you look always something new to see , the plants are doing so well and the tree moulds are just beautiful. If you crush the citrus leaf it will smell
Like the fruit it bears .

We get to see something new every time you show us around. I love the jungle, tree molds, colors…. Amazing! Oh and the views! Thank you Scott.
Glad you enjoyed it
Pretty sparkles, crunchy old lava and tree moulds so amazing how ferns and plant life grab a foothold and flourish. 🏝️😁🌋👍❤️
It’s amazing what’s growing in the lava. I’m an avid gardener and didn’t know stuff could grow directly in the lava like that. Thought it would need some other organic matter. Fantastic.
I think that the volcanic rock contains the essential nutrients that plants need, that haven't been leached away in old soils.
Another cool walk around and a great testament to the restorative powers of plants!
Gorgeous landscape and flowers, thank you for sharing your home, much love from the mainland
Thanks for the visit and show . 😎👍
Really like the sound of your footsteps.
Fortunate to have visited Hawaii 2x. And it reminds me of going hiking in the National park. Not a swimmer or drinker, spent most of my time hiking.
Just looked back at your lava lot planting videos. I need some lava to plant in…it’s amazing!
Thankyou so much Scott. The growth rate of the rejuvenation of the plant life is amazing in just 3yrs.
Thankyou for walking us through it. What happened to the ohia tree in the top corner you planted first before the coconuts?
It's so cool to see how many different plants are thriving in your lava. I also always enjoy seeing the colors that flash so awesomely in the sunlight. Hope you didn't get wet Scott.
Love seeing all the plants thriving.
Your curiosity about how life takes hold on a fresh lava flow, and what might grow there is paying off. You saw a great opportunity and took it.
Beautiful lava! Thanks.
I love Hawaii and Avocados. Hawaii is so special and beautiful . It is an Island forever changing and blessed by God. Amen
A model train through the Ohea tree tunnel would be fun 😂
yeah, i was thinking a small rc car with a GoPro 🤔😎
Wow! That was fascinating! It was awesome to see avacado trees, pineapple, aloe plants, all growing outside! Where I live, they would all be house plants! There were other plants I recognized but don't know their names. I thoroughly enjoyed this!
Thanks for watching
Every time you go out there we notice something we haven’t seen before,nice Scott
Thanks for the tour and education
The “stinky orange” plant may be citrus rootstock. It can be t-budded with a desirable scion to form a good citrus tree. Nice video!
Exquisite orchid!
Neat to see how quickly plants can grow on the new lava. The wet climate of the northeast side of Kilauea must help. The new lava has plenty of minerals but no soil to store water.
Hey! There is a surfer in the lava on the thumbnail! Cool dude!
Just amazing. Love the colors, tree moulds and shows that there's always new life. Thankyou.
Many thanks
Fascinating!
So cool! I can’t wait to move there😊
Rustic art work by Nature.. Osem!!!
Well said!
I was there about 6 months or so before the lava flow ....the manager of Leilani Estate wanted a concrete pad for a home.. a hole dug in the lava for a concrete septic tank and he said he would fly his drone over everyones property to make sure they complied with those rules...seemed a bit much to me in that area...so I did not buy...I met a young couple that bought...had a clearing bulldozed and their family was helping them pay for itI think he said a uncle was going to park his boat there and use the close by launching ramp..I wonder if their land got covered I think it was in the area closer to the Ocean in LE......
That hole in the thin lava at 10 min and 20 sec looks like the one I made 😁 And the colors are still just as majestic!
Yup, I think that was you!
@@ApauHawaiiTours :))
Horray for Lava Chickens and Avocadoes!!!!
Haha
What a treasure you have there. I would love having a avacado tree in my yard, but i don't they would do well in frigid mountains of Colorado

I remember that citrus when I was visiting you and Charles on your lava lot.
I think that's when I first noticed it.
@@ApauHawaiiTours that is what you said.
I would love to have one or two of those wild orchids to add in my collection of plants.
Thank you for watching
Too Cool and very interesting. Thx!
Thanks for watching
Thanks. Always wondered if those plants took to fresh earth. They did!
Yeah, it's crazy!
Dragon fruit growing is very cool. I have some dragon fruit growing here in Minnesota:) thanks for the tour the growth on your lava lot is amazing really
Thanks for watching!
Do you get mushrooms and fungi growing under and around fallen trees and logs?
My all time favorite fruit from all the fruit trees you have is long gun and I’m craving it 😁
Have been having a few each day. Might be some left when you get here. :-)
@@ApauHawaiiTours well, they better :))
Oh and it’s all basalt. It’s one kind of lava. It may take a few forms like Aa or puhoehoe lava.
Where I live avos are rhe price of precious metals. And I do love them so. Our winter is too harsh so I have two tiny trees and never a fruit. Always some hail or frost killing off the baby fruit or yet again another extremity of the limbs. I think I could like living in Hawaii haha Flowers stunning. Thanks
Thanks for watching
Well, that was certainly interesting ... are all the Lots taken now, or are there some left ?
Does lava remain hard and solid or over time does it crumble?
What camera u use?
Mornin Scott 🌤🌴! Sounds like the title of a horror movie "... the avocados that won't die ..." ROFL over my ☕. LL looks 💞. Whats that red pretty plant at 18:01? 🤗🐦🇨🇦
The Avocado That Wouldn't Die!
DUN Dun dunnn...
Seriously, though, are Avocados freeze resistent? Houston, Texas seems to be going through a period of Short-but-freezing winters...
Also, if they'll take the lower altitude, and you can get some seeds or seedlings, maybe you could plant or transplant some silverswords?
Silverswords would be cool but need the higher elevation and dryer weather.
@@ApauHawaiiTours just a thought.
Remember ( depending on your age) the song, "The Eggplant That Ate Chicago" ?
Is the dry lava protected or can you bulldoze it?
That bird sounded like our cardinals.
Will you get any notice before the volcano goes off again?
Kilauea is currently erupting. th-cam.com/video/K7FD8ubydpg/w-d-xo.html
You bought yourself a living laboratory! How much is not covered in lava? Can you build on it yet?
Question: if you buy a lot and lava flows over it later, do you still own that lot? I've heard otherwise.
Yes
Maybe some of the more yellow plants would want some nitrogen. Something like fish emulsion might work
Ever thought of selling that stuff? It's light and easily packaged. Get paid to clear your lot.
The lavacados seem pretty insistent that you enjoy them.
Hahaha!! Lavacados :-)
The two plants you said at 6 minutes you brought from your house are cardboard palms I believe.
Thank you.
Let the avocados 🥑 grow for the birds to eat ...
Why not leave the plants? They've made it through the eruption.
Give your lot enough time and it will be jungle again.
I'm allergic to Avocado so I feel you on your dislike for them
Make peace with your avocado trees and take the fruit to a farmers market or donate it to a food bank. (P.S. I don't care for avocados either, so I understand why you'd want to get rid of them).
Don't like avos? One of the best foods in the world. Unexplainable
Dude do you know how expensive avocados are? Sell them! You will make a killing! And interesting that Puo O is going strong when USGS says there is NO activity except in Halemaumau crater. Hummmmmm
