    We've been wanting to get a lemon tree for the longest time. So today we decided to try to go down and get one. I'm not sure what my husband's plan was (I think he wanted to grow it from the seed). But I think that would've taken forever. When we first started dating, he got me a lemon tree from Home Depot, so maybe he wanted to go there. He just wanted to get one but didn't know where to go. I told him to look up some nurseries on Yelp and see if any are open. He was able to find one right down the street from our house. Nii Nursery is located in the back part of Hawaii Kai. They have a decent amount of parking and their lot is huge. You can see all kind of plants, fruiting trees, and other things. There were a lot of lemon and other fruit trees by the front entrance. They had many different types of oranges, tangerines, lemons, and kalamansi. We looked around and saw other plants but we were mostly interested in the lemon tree. I saw the worker and asked him how much the lemon tree was. He told me the price and then came down to help us. We're just learning about planting this tree so my husband asked him a lot of questions. He was such a nice guy and very knowledgeable. He has a good personality and made us laugh several times when he was explaining to us. He told my husband some great pointers of how to plant the lemon tree in the pot and how to care for it. We had a great experience there today. It was really a personalized learning experience. We will definitely come back if we want to get more plants.

    Enjoy going to Charles Nii Nursery! It's like being a kid in a candy store! So much to look at and they have GREAT prices! Glenn Nii and his wife Nora are a joy to talk to~ they're very knowledgeable and helpful! Can't wait to go back! My friends, husband & I make this visit into a monthly outing!

    Found him at the Fall Food & New Products Expo at the Blaisdell today. Extremely helpful and sweet guy! Helped me find the perfect plant for my home office. Will be going to his nursery for a tree soon

    A very close family friend brought us to Nii's and we are so grateful to him. We got some beautiful hybrid hibiscuses and they are simply gorgeous. Staff is so nice.Very very knowledgeable. Very patient. Prices are reasonable. It was a really educational place for my young son too. We've referred other families here and they have thanked us time and time again. My review is pretty simple because I was extremely pleased with our hibiscuses and this nursery.

    Shopping for poinsettia plants on Christmas Eve in Hawaii Kai, Honolulu, Hawai'i…read more.. A nice church lady mentioned to me that she used to buy poinsettia plants at Mariner's Cove many years ago - and this nursery had good prices! I used my Yelp app and searched Hawaii Kai for nurseries. I called Charles Nii Nursery, but they had closed in July 2025. I called Nii R & S Nursery. Their recording stated that they would be closing today at noon. We hurried over to that side of the island. Nii R & S Nursery wasn't too difficult to find. We parked in the front, but the worker told us to drive up the road to the end where the office is. Yes... it was a relatively long road with potholes and some unpaved stretches. There was a woman (Judy) who directed us to turn left towards the poinsettia plants... wow... there were a lot! The tall plants were $9 and the shorter ones were $7. Today, they were all $1 off! Tax included! After we selected our plants, Judy offered us wrappers (50 cents each) for the pots: gold, red, or green. We picked gold. Our plants looked great! They're healthy and sturdy! We hope they will last a long time! Note: Charles Niu Nursery is the cousin of this business!

    Landscaping work is not the kind of work most people get excited about but when you got to do it,…read moreyou gotta to do it. Manual labor is definitely not on my top list of favorite things to do. It is a chore and it is not my hobby. So the search for foliage and flowers begins after much procrastination on my part LOL. On this particular weekend, my landscaping work calls for more bougainvillea plantings. The idea is to fill in some bare patches around the existing bougainvillea tree beds and re-train the thorny branches to grow upward. Sounds easy until your first couple of cuts from the deluge of the ever-present thorns on those spiky branches. We looked at some local ads and didn't really know if we really wanted to buy imported bougainvilleas from the big box stores. Trying to "support local", so we called around to get some referrals. Off we went to Hawaii Kai Nursery because we were told the lady there specializes in bougainvilleas and nothing else. I recommend using GPS to find this nursery in the back area of Hawaii Kai's residential subdivision. Take caution as you drive through a very small, winding section of the 2-lane road. Thick walls of tall grass made a natural wall barrier, hence making visibility briefly limited. Upon arrival, we drove up to the property's only entrance and decided to park by the side of the fence since there wasn't a driveway nor a designated area for vehicles to park. When we passed through the metal gate, an elderly lady came out to greet us. We asked if she was Mary and she questioned us how we knew her name LOL. Told her we assumed she was the minute we saw her sign Mary's Bougainvilleas hung on the side of her fence. She chucked! The nicest and sweetest lady Mary seemed to be, and she was so genuine. First impression of the nursery revealed Mary's (nursery's owner) preference for bougainvilleas. Right at the center of the nursery stands a gorgeous white gazebo sporting lovely fuchsia bougainvillea flowers and vines completely wrapped around the charming square trellis. You can tell this masterpiece was lovingly groomed and manicured for years to look this stunning. A perfect backdrop for a wedding photo it would make. There are 4 different areas where you can see bougainvilleas about "knee high" tall (3-gallon pots) and they were all orderly lined up in many rows. All those bougainvilleas were blooming nicely and the colors so vibrant in the sun. Flowers of bright purple, delicate whites, California gold, almost neon fuchsia and peachy-orange hues covered the bougainvillea pots. I gravitated towards the orange, pink and fuchsia colors but there was one bougainvillea variety I've not previously seen: the Thai delight. This variety is attractive, delicate and very eye-catching with the pink edges on the top portion of the white flowers. Mary was very informative once she learned what we wanted and gave us specific trimming and caring instructions. More importantly, she made sure we understood what to expect from the plants and its growth is really dependent the particular variety. I would recommend anyone to check out Mary's Bougainvilleas if you're in the market for some ornamental "paper flowers". Her prices were super reasonable and her bougainvillea flowers looked so beautiful and healthy. I loved how she's so down to earth, genuine and she didn't try to hard sell us. We're planning to buy additional pots from Mary after discovering our garden could use a few more bougainvilleas.

The warehouse is located in Waipahu and they now have six locations under "Wholesale Unlimited Express" throughout Oahu. This location in Honolulu is in a small plaza with a small amount of parking.

There were even a lot of snacks here that I found in Japan which was amazing to see so I grabbed a lot of those.
