Hawaiian Ohia Lehua

Honeybees are drawn to the abundant nectar from its vibrant flowers, producing a unique, light-colored honey with subtle floral and caramel flavors. Blooms occur nearly year-round with peaks in spring and summer, offering a reliable forage source in tropical climates. The slow-growing tree thrives in acidic, volcanic soils but requires monitoring for fungal pathogens that can affect its health.
