Wili wili
Erythrina sandwicensis
Wili wili is a striking Hawaiian endemic tree that requires full sun to part shade and well-draining soil; it is naturally adapted to the dry lowland forests of Hawaii. Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry between waterings, and avoid overwatering as this can cause root rot. This rare and culturally significant tree is best suited to warm, frost-free climates and is a standout specimen for tropical landscapes.
