This tree is a particularly prolific iliahi (sandalwood). It stands in Volcanoes National Park near the rim of Kilauea only about 3 miles from my house. It is in an area where there is a fairly large stand of koa about midway between the lush ohia-fern forest side of the crater and the barren arid desert Ka'u side of the crater. I chose the tree because it is choke with beautiful berries, because it is a sandalwood tree, and because of you!
