Abstract:

The biggest mistake with using native plants on Hawaii’s roadways is to assume that native plants do not require

nutrient enhancement or supplemental water to establish on these sites. The establishment of native plants will

require a detailed analysis of the site in terms of access to irrigation water, established weeds and other ground

covers as well as suitability to a mixture of desired native plants in the final landscape setting. This document

provides protocols that start with proper preplant site preparation to purge weedy species and leave the site with a

depleted capability to repopulate with undesirable vegetation. This is followed by planting and establishment

techniques of pili grass (Heteropogon contortus), akiaki (Sporobolus virginicus) and mauu akiaki (Fimbristylis

cymosa). The protocols provided in this planting handbook were developed with the understanding that

contractors have a defined period to finish a job and that many challenges exist in establishing a persistent

landscape composed of native Hawaiian plants.
