Lehua

Lehua is rocking her slippers, a long braid, and a dress adorned with the vibrant ʻōhiʻa lehua flower. She’s ready to holoholo around town or cuddle up at home.

ʻŌhiʻa lehua trees, endemic to Hawaiʻi, are vital to our native ecosystems. While they still thrive in many areas, they face serious threats from Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death (ROD), a fungal disease that quickly kills the trees. Raising awareness is key to protecting them.
