The 35th Annual Hawaii Tropical Fruit Growers Conference runs October 24–26, 2025, at the Hilo Hawaiian Hotel in Hilo. This year’s theme, “Digging Deeper,” brings together growers, educators, and advocates for three days of practical learning. Keynote speaker Yoshimi Yonemoto, former director of Japan’s Tropical Fruit Research Stations, will share proven methods for pruning, pollination, and planning for strong yields. Sessions cover dwarf tree care, soil health, crop quality, theft prevention, local research, and new laws. A trade show, fruit tasting, evening pupu parties, and farm tours round out the event, building skills, business ideas, and lasting island connections.
