'Aku

Upper Waiakea Forest Reserve

This sub-adult was destroyed by pigs in late 2008 or early 2009 before it ever got large enough to flower. In April 2010 a 1 foot tall sprout was found at the same location. It lost about 10 years of growth, but hopefully the new sprout will survive long enough to become an adult and start flowering in about 15 years.
