The remenants of an old pulu factory can still be seen on the Napau Crater trail in the Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park.
This young Hapu'u in our backyard will slowly uncurl and grow attached to a two foot young Hapuu fern tree that will eventually grow into a tree reaching heights of 20 to 30 feet and some times taller in the rain forests of Volcano, Hawaii.
