Koa has sickle-shaped foliage and pale yellow flower clusters. Early Hawaiians made surfboards and outrigger canoe hulls out of the beautiful red brown wood. Today it is made into fine furniture. `Ohi`a has oval leaves and clusters of delicate red flowers. Early Hawaiians used the flowers in lei (garlands) and the wood in outrigger canoes. The hard, durable wood was also carved into god images for heiau (religious sites). Beneath the `ohi`a are hapu`u tree ferns with delicate sweeping fronds. Their trunks consist of roots tightly woven around a small central stem. The brown fiber covering the young fronds of hapu`u is called pulu.\nOther native trees in the restoration area are the native hibiscus, koki`o ke`oke`o and the mamaki. The hibiscus has dark green, oval leaves and large white flowers with pink to red stamens. The showy flowers frequently fall right on the trail. Mamaki has leathery, light green leaves with toothed margins and prominent veins. Along the stems are the white, fleshy fruits. Early Hawaiians used the bark and sap in making kapa (bark cloth). They also steeped the leaves to prepare a tea as a tonic.","position":5,"location":null,"deleted":null,"dateModified":1793354415032},{"idKey":1319,"title":"History","body":"In early 1926 Territorial Forestry constructed the Pu`u `Ohi`a Trail to make the Tantalus area more accessible for hikers and tree planting crews. The Civilian Conservation Corps rebuilt the trail in 1935 as part of a project to upgrade the Kalawahine and Manoa Cliff Trails.\n\tIn 2005, Mashuri Waite and Brandon Stone of the Botanical Society decided to reduce the number of introduced plants along the mauka (inland) slope of Tantalus to highlight and encourage the original native vegetation. With the approval of Na Ala Hele, the two men and others began weeding a fenced area near the end of the Pu`u `Ohi`a and Manoa Cliff Trails. Over the years their twice a month “linear gardening” has turned the restoration area into a showcase for native plants.","position":4,"location":null,"deleted":null,"dateModified":1793354415032},{"idKey":425,"title":"Directions","body":"First try to click on the “Get Directions” icon at the top of this page.
