Anahulu Hoʻēmi 11/11 – 11/19/2025

Aloha e nā hoa, 

Last Friday was Arbor Day in Hawaiʻi! Our team was able to check out the festivities during our annual campus event, and we also had the opportunity to plant some mea kanu on the grounds of Hawaiʻi Hall. Among the famous palms, we planted mea kanu such as the ʻukiʻuki in the foreground, some medium-sized ʻaʻaliʻi next to the bird-of-paradise, and even another special surprise plant, if you can tell! They are flourishing in the recent rains that accompany Arbor Day, so don’t be shy to say hello and give these mea kanu a compliment if you’re walking through the area.
