In the Pacific islands, traditional home gardens are "provision stores" for food, household materials, and medicines, as well as culturally important plants.

As rural areas are increasingly urbanized in the Pacific islands, older trees of agricultural and cultural importance are being removed. Here an old breadfruit is cut down to open a view plane.

Here coffee is grown together with bananas under a seasonal canopy of Samanea saman that is pruned back about once per year.

Because coffee tolerates some shade, farmers in Kona, Hawaii have traditionally interplanted their coffee fields with fruit trees for home use (here calamondin, Citrus mitis).

This many centuries-old Ô?hiÔa lehua tree in Manuk?, South Kona, HawaiÔi, has a circumference at breast height of 6.8 m (22.3 ft) and diameter of 2.16 m (7.08 ft).

Exposed extensive surface root system of tropical almond.

Salt and wind tolerant tree planted along ocean coast.

Paper mulberry planted between young breadfruit trees.
