Planted as part of the reforestation program at the Ma-kau-wahi Sinkhole, the kiawe is a deciduous tree that can growm up to 20 meters high. The entire population trees in Hawai'i originally came from a single tree planted in Honolulu. The original seed was brought over from Paris by a Catholic Priest in 1828. Kiawe is used for fuel and charcoal (and imparts a flavor similar to mesquite, a related species).
