100 Hawaiian Kou (Cordia subcordata) seeds ethically harvested from our functioning agroforest homestead.

Includes scarification and germination guide.

Revitalize your landscape with Kou, an indigenous Hawaiian coastal tree known for its bright orange, trumpet-shaped flowers and soft, beautifully grained wood. Growing 25 to 30 feet tall, Kou thrives in full sun, tolerates salt spray and drought. Kou wood is used for ʻumeke because the wood is easy to carve and does not impart a resinous or bitter taste to stored food. Its bright orange blossoms are gathered for lei, and a warm reddish-brown dye can be extracted from aged leaves for kapa and fishing.
