Loulu Trees

Hey Guys,
If you’ve ever been to Hawaii, you’ve probably seen one of these trees during your visit. These trees are called Loulu Trees which are a certain species of palm trees. They are very rare since almost each island of Hawaii has a different variation of this tree (they vary in size and the color of their palm). Sadly, there are only about 300-400 Loulus left in the wild. They can grow up to 60 feet in height. The trees kept on flourishing until early settlers arrived in Hawaii because their animals ate the delicious seeds of this tree, which affected the number of trees. However, The Oahu Army Natural Resource Program has began collecting and growing seeds to plant more Loulus in the wild to make them as prominent as they used to be.
See you soon,
