Honolulu Palms Canvas Pictures
Arecas are one of the most recognizable palms in Hawaii. They are a beautiful, low-maintenance, multi-trunk species with full foliage — making them perfect for landscaping where hedging and privacy is desired. Areca palms also make excellent indoor plants. Like the areca, the rhapis is a low-maintenance, multi-trunk palm with abundant foliage. They are also easy to grow both outdoors or indoors for accenting, hedging and framing. Rhapis palms are slow-growing and shade tolerant — more so than arecas. Loulu were once so common in Hawaii that there were forests of them. One place to see loulu palms like in the old days is Huelo islet off the north cliffs of Molokai. It is a steep, clifflike island with the deepest-blue ocean surf surging around it. No goats, pigs or rats are there, and the whole island is covered with loulu. Manila palms are a gorgeous single trunk species with red berries. They are often grown in groups of three to give them a more full and inviting appearance. Manilas are also low maintenance and easy to grow. They make good focal points in small gardens and can become an elegant statement palm when they become more tall and mature. Loulu are grown in home and botanic gardens. Some still survive in the wild, but they face many threats, especially rats, which eat the seeds, flowers and keiki loulu palms. Pigs, goats and people like to eat them, too. People are the worst threat to loulu and other native plants, as we cut down trees, bulldoze, set fires, import alien weeds and build things where forests once grew.
