Abstract

Acacia koa is one of three closely related species native to the Hawaiian Islands, where it is found on all the main islands except Niihau and Kahoolawe. It grows in almost pure stands, in mixed koa-ohia (Metrosideros polymorpha Gaudich.) stands, and in association with a variety of other tree species (Whitesell 1990).
