Abstract
The cultivation of Leucospermum for profit has potential for Hawaii growers if improved horticultural characteristics, disease resistance, and tolerance to tropical weather conditions could be incorporated into new cultivars.
The protea cultivar development program at the University of Hawaii is an example of an effort to create such improved cultivars.
An outline of the approach and highlights of some successes are presented.
