Hawaiian Palm

The Hawaiian Palm (Brighamia insignis) can only be found in the wild, located on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. It has become nearly extinct and, despite the difficulties of natural cultivation in the wild, it has been able to be commercially produced through seed and tissue culture. With proper care the Brighamia can produce yellow star-shaped flowers that can last up to several weeks. The leaves will fall off once a year and will leave scarring on the trunk, which shows the new growth. A new canopy will soon start to bud.
