Hawaiian Creatures

Acacia koa, known as Koa is a species of tree endemic to the Hawaiian islands most commonly  found on Maui, Kaua'i, and Hawai'i island.  Koa is the largest native tree of the Hawai'i growing to heights of over 100ft, and 20-30ft at lower elevations.  Used for its sturdiness, koa is used for furniture, crafts, and veneer. However, koa trees are easily vulnerable to lawnmowers and "weed wackers", and once damaged rot will tend to set in.  Sources: http://nativeplants.hawaii.edu/plant/view/Acacia_koa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acacia_koa https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acacia_koaia
