Kukui ~ candlenut tree

Shimmery leaves, silvery-pale green foliage dancing in the wind. Or else you catch a glimpse as you zip through the Halawa forest canopy, a peaceful play of light like a song. These are the ways that Hawaii’s beloved kukui tree reveals itself. A member of the spurge family, kukui became the State Tree of Hawaii in 1959, embodying in its varied use and intrinsic beauty a sense of serenity, protection, and calm.
