    The tree with stilt roots is hala (Pandanus tectorius), a species native to low altitudes on all the major Hawaiian islands. This tree was very useful to Hawaiians in pre-contact times and is still valued as an ornamental. Its fruit, though not especially palatable, served as an emergency food source; the leaves were woven into products such as baskets and mats and occasionally used to thatch roofs.
