The simple, seaside ceremony took place just outside of the building where the young Florence had been born. Over the next century, the tree grew, its boughs shaped by the sun and sea breezes, its outstretched canopy a delicate latticework of leaf and stem. Through Hawai\u2018i\u2019s emergence to statehood, two World Wars, tourism booms, and cultural renaissances, the tree has borne witness to events both grand and minute, holding court over a hundred years\u2019 worth of contemplations, conversations, and celebrations. To this day, paradise is found and memories are made under the silvered boughs of this \u201cgrand lady,\u201d as many hotel staff have come to call the arbor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But in the early, silent hours of August 21, 2016, absent of any monitory wind or rain, the historic tree fell. It pitched over in the most ideal manner, falling between the shore passage railing and the House Without a Key\u2019s stage. No one was hurt and no damage was done. The most unusual aspect of all was that no one witnessed its fall. Surveillance footage revealed the tree upright in one frame, and then moments later, simply lying down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the recommendations of arborists, groundskeepers quickly moved to cover the exposed roots with wet burlap sacks. Some branches were removed, others coppiced. The roots have since reestablished, and tender new shoots now unfurl skyward. Today, the historic kiawe tree continues to be an elegant symbol of the hotel\u2019s grandeur and grace, presiding over the grounds as Halekulani\u2019s living treasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20370%20247'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/living.okinawa.halekulani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/LIVING-OK_1.2-Tree-of-Life-IMG-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load wp-image-1169\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1938\" height=\"1292\" src=\"https:\/\/living.okinawa.halekulani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/LIVING-OK_1.2-Tree-of-Life-IMG-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/living.okinawa.halekulani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/LIVING-OK_1.2-Tree-of-Life-IMG-7.jpg 1938w, https:\/\/living.okinawa.halekulani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/LIVING-OK_1.2-Tree-of-Life-IMG-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/living.okinawa.halekulani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/LIVING-OK_1.2-Tree-of-Life-IMG-7-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/living.okinawa.halekulani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/LIVING-OK_1.2-Tree-of-Life-IMG-7-903x602.jpg 903w, https:\/\/living.okinawa.halekulani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/LIVING-OK_1.2-Tree-of-Life-IMG-7-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/living.okinawa.halekulani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/LIVING-OK_1.2-Tree-of-Life-IMG-7-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/living.okinawa.halekulani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/LIVING-OK_1.2-Tree-of-Life-IMG-7-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/living.okinawa.halekulani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/LIVING-OK_1.2-Tree-of-Life-IMG-7-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/living.okinawa.halekulani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/LIVING-OK_1.2-Tree-of-Life-IMG-7-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/living.okinawa.halekulani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/LIVING-OK_1.2-Tree-of-Life-IMG-7-1155x770.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/living.okinawa.halekulani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/LIVING-OK_1.2-Tree-of-Life-IMG-7-577x385.jpg 577w, https:\/\/living.okinawa.halekulani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/LIVING-OK_1.2-Tree-of-Life-IMG-7-977x651.jpg 977w, https:\/\/living.okinawa.halekulani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/LIVING-OK_1.2-Tree-of-Life-IMG-7-1362x908.jpg 1362w, https:\/\/living.okinawa.halekulani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/LIVING-OK_1.2-Tree-of-Life-IMG-7-1607x1071.jpg 1607w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1938px) 100vw, 1938px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>During the 1930s, Chicagoan Annie Irons spent a whirlwind month in the Hawaiian Islands.

Sojourning for months at a time, Good\u2019s family regularly frequented the islands\u2014 and Halekulani, where they enjoyed hosted cocktails and graceful hula performances on the seaside lawn. Nearly 60 years later, Good sees the tree as an em- blem of his teenage crush. \u201cI used to hide behind that tree and watch Mamo Howell dance hula every day,\u201d Good confesses. \u201cShe was the most beautiful woman I had ever laid eyes on.\u201d Years later, Good happened upon a snapshot his father took during one of their stays. In it, an elegant Howell is poised mid-step in dance, and in the background is the profile of a young, love-struck Good, peeking out from behind the kiawe\u2019s trunk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20370%20247'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/living.okinawa.halekulani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/LIVING-OK_1.2-Tree-of-Life-IMG-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load wp-image-1163\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1292\" height=\"1938\" src=\"https:\/\/living.okinawa.halekulani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/LIVING-OK_1.2-Tree-of-Life-IMG-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/living.okinawa.halekulani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/LIVING-OK_1.2-Tree-of-Life-IMG-3.jpg 1292w, https:\/\/living.okinawa.halekulani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/LIVING-OK_1.2-Tree-of-Life-IMG-3-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/living.okinawa.halekulani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/LIVING-OK_1.2-Tree-of-Life-IMG-3-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/living.okinawa.halekulani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/LIVING-OK_1.2-Tree-of-Life-IMG-3-903x1355.jpg 903w, https:\/\/living.okinawa.halekulani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/LIVING-OK_1.2-Tree-of-Life-IMG-3-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/living.okinawa.halekulani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/LIVING-OK_1.2-Tree-of-Life-IMG-3-8x12.jpg 8w, https:\/\/living.okinawa.halekulani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/LIVING-OK_1.2-Tree-of-Life-IMG-3-500x750.jpg 500w, https:\/\/living.okinawa.halekulani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/LIVING-OK_1.2-Tree-of-Life-IMG-3-977x1466.jpg 977w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1292px) 100vw, 1292px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn the olden days, it was the men who cleaned the rooms,\u201d says Richard Castillo, who joined Halekulani\u2019s housekeeping staff in 1953.
