BIG ISLAND OF HAWAII

RUBUS HAWAIENSIS

– It is found on the islands of Kaua’i, Moloka’i, Maui, O’ahu, and Hawai’i in mesic to wet forest at elevations of 600—3,070 m.

– ‘Akala translates to “pink’ in Hawaiian, the color of ‘ākala berry juice. The berries were used to dye kapa. Indeed, the berries are huge, especially when compared to other members of the Rubus genus. The berries are a little bitter.

– A scrambling native vine native to Hawai’i. Related to blackberry, this ‘ākala is the exception to the rule “native plants don’t have thorns”. It’s closer to sharp hairs than sharp thorns. And not all ‘ākala will have thorns, even in the same forest. It’s an unpleasant surprise when you touch an ‘ākala only to dig thorns out of your hand later. “Akala is somewhat deciduous, leaves are lost for a brief time in the winter.
