Wahiawa Botanic Garden

In the middle of Oahu, in Wahiawa (the farming center of the island), there is an attractive botanic garden where a stop can be made on the way to the pineapple fields in the north of the town or on the way back to Honolulu.

Here the trees from tropical areas of Africa, Australia and the South Sea Islands, planted about 40 years ago, are eye-catching. Only some of them are named - the strongly-smelling camphor trees from China and Japan, cinnamon trees from Sri Lanka and a particularly fine rubber tree from New Guinea.
