Kealakekua Mountain Reserve partnered with Dr. Emily Uluwehi Senegal-Thyroff to learn more about how ʻiliahi grows and how it relates to other native plants. ʻIliahi has a unique relationship with other plants in that it directly connects its roots to the roots of other plants for resource transfer.

In Progress: Stocktype Trial
A stocktype trial, in the context of forestry or horticulture, is a study that compares the performance of different plant "stocktypes" (different sizes, ages, or types of seedlings) under specific environmental conditions. These trials help determine which stocktypes are most suitable for a particular planting site and management objective.
Other ʻIliahi Species
In addition to the six currently recognized ʻiliahi species, there are other sandalwood species that ʻiliahi is related to that are referenced to build research off of.
