This XfrogPlants Koa 3D model collection contains nine highly detailed, fully textured variations of the plant at different ages.

Tree, broadleaf evergreen, broad spreading
Height: up to 18 m in cultivation, taller when growing old
Origin: Hawaii (Hawai’I, Maui, Oahu)
Environment: dry to wet forests, from 70 to 2300 m altitude
Climate: warm, temperate

Notes:
Koa is one of the fastest growing Hawaiian trees, as it can reach20 feet in five years. However, after that, it takes 50 years to reach a commercially useful dimension, and for this reason it is not often farmed. Ancient Hawaiians used to build their canoes with the trunk of Koa. The reddish wood is today used for musical instruments, like the typical “Ukulele”. Grazing has much reduced the Koa population on the Hawaii islands, making the regeneration nearly impossible.
