History of Kukui tree

Kukui is a tree that is commonly found in Hawaii. Kukui trees can grow to 35 or 50 feet and spread nearly as wide. They will thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. Several factors recommend using the shade of the kukui tree to unobstructed advantage. Since the tree produces nuts or seeds that may cause litter in bedding plants, it is best to use them for shade in a seating or picnic area. Their surface roots can get large and the branches are brittle and break easily, also falling to the ground below. Natives say all parts of the tree can be useful and utilized for many purposes, from the leaves, to flowers, to fruits and nuts and even to roots.

Leaves also fall year round but can be used as part of a mulch or compost mix. For best access and to reduce unnecessary maintenance, avoid planting small bedding plants at the base. The light wood of the trunk has been used for canoes and for fishing floats. The inner bark makes a reddish brown dye that is used for tapa cloth dyeing and the burned seeds are useful for tattoo coloring. The leaves and the lightly fragrant white flowers are often used in lei, as are the inch-round nuts or seeds. The hard nuts are sometimes rough sanded revealing the natural grooves and gray or brown coloration.

Today they are frequently polished to a black patina to make beautiful necklaces and bracelets. History has it that Kukui was brought in to Hawaii thousands of years go by Polynesian travelers, who cruised to establish trading relations. The ancient voyagers brought along with their canoes products and plants that could be of great aid and benefits to them and to the people they would trade with. Now, there are still just a few skin care companies focusing at Kukui as an organic skin care ingredient. Those few are able to produce organic skin care products that make skin smooth, clear and glowing.

Kukui Nut Tree

The kukui nut oil was not only used on handmade bowls, but also on Koa tree canoes, and surfboards. The kukui nut oil was also used to make the koa wood canoes and surfboards waterproof. The nuts and oil of the kukui can be toxic in large doses but small amounts provide a pleasant taste treat to culinary endeavors.
