Tree in Liliuokalani Park

This is my favorite kind of Hawaiian tree. This particular specimen is in Liliuokalani Park in Hilo. I want one of these in my backyard. I love how the branches spread out into a wide and somewhat flat canopy. Although the feeling might be heightened by the fact that this tree is in a Japanese-style garden, the natural shape of this tree gives me a distinctly Japanese garden feeling. I have been interested in Japanese gardens since my trip there. I'd love to turn a little corner of our yard into a Japanese rock garden.
