Summary

Description

Milo or Portia tree Malvaceae Indigenous to the Hawaiian Islands Oʻahu (Cultivated)

The beautiful wood was prized by early Hawaiians second only to kou, to make food bowls (ʻumeke milo), poi calabashes, platters (pā milo), and dishes because the wood gave no unpleasant taste to the food like some other native woods, such as koa. The bark was used as cordage. The fruits produce a yellowish green dye, medicine, oil, and gum, and the yellow flowers were used by lei makers. Early Hawaiians found young milo leaves, flowers, and flower buds to be edible. Milo was considered a sacred tree and the use prohibited by commoners. The house of King Kamehameha I in Waikīkī was surrounded by milo.

Polynesian Names: ʻAmae (Societies); Makoʻi (Rapa Nui); Milo (Futuna, Hawaiʻi, Niue, Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu, ʻUvea); Miʻo (Marquesas); Miro (Cooks, Mangareva, Pitcairn, Societies); Mulomulo (Fiji)
