Current Projects

Hui Kū Maoli Ola is creating above ground leach field beds to minimize soil disturbance and incorporated native Hawaiian plants to serve a phytoremediation purpose out at Bellows. Here's some progression shots taken by our project manager, Will Kanahele Jr. 

#PlantoftheMonth

Our #PlantoftheMonth for June 2016 is Pualoalo (Hibiscus arnotiianus sub. punaluuensis). This hibiscus is endemic to central northern end of the Koʻolau mountain range. These plants are characterized by generally having larger leaves than its southern counterparts.Our plants are grown from cuttings taken from the wild, right beneath the H3 town-bound tunnels. As with most hibiscuses, the pualoalo can be trimmed into a beautiful, highly colorful hedge or left alone to be admired as a specimen plant. It is very wind, sun and drought tolerant and is resistant to the unattractive bumps from gall mites that seem to plague most hybrid hibiscus. The flowers of Hibiscus were eaten as a laxative and some sources say that the native red hibiscus were eaten by girls and women while the white hibiscus were eaten by boys and men. Get your 1 gallon for just $8 in June 2016!
