BASTARD SANDALWOOD Naio
Locally abundant shrub or small tree from dry coastal plains to the
sub-alpine zone. Variable stature, leaf form & flower color by
locality. Prostrate forms occur along the Ka'u coast and small
trees occur on the slopes of Mauna Kea. Greenish yellow heartwood has
a strong fragrance leading to its
substitution for true sandalwood when that resource was depleted by the
late 1800's. An attractive drought-tolerant species ideal for
landscapes. Indigenous to Hawaii and Mangaia (Cook Islands).
A potentially devastating insect has been injuring Naio on the Big
Island. Please report any suspected cases:
