Looks like Ti to me.


RE: What is this? - hrooster - 03-13-2011

No, it's a large tree, about 20' tall. I always assumed it was macadamia, but have never found other images of such berries on macadamia trees. Here is an image of the tree:

Christmas Berry/Brazilian Pepper?

If so, nasty and invasive. All over lower Ka'u.

Does not look like the Brazilian pepper to me. How large are the fruits?

Life goes on, with you or without you.


RE: What is this? - hrooster - 03-13-2011

each fruit is about 1/4-1/2 inch diameter. For a long time I thought they were flowers, and I was quite surprised when I finally stopped and saw that they were berries.
There are groves of them just after the bypass area south of Peepekeo, so they appear to be cultivated.

Citharexylum caudatum (juniperberry) according to the Hawaii Plant ID group at flickr. I can sleep tonight!

Great job Hrooster!

Another link, which may help in identifying other Hawaiian plants.

If you click on any of the pictures it gives you in depth information about that particular flower/tree or plant.

Great site, hikatz, thanks!
It was the Starrs who answered my question at Flickr, tho I had spent a long time looking through HEAR (the Starrs own site)....I just couldn't figure a way to narrow my search there.
