The Noni plant is a small evergreen tree found growing in open coastal regions at sea level and in forest areas up to 1,300
feet above sea level. The plant is often found growing along lava flows, thus it is found in abundance in Hawaii. The Noni plant is native to Asia, Australia and some Pacific Islands and was brought to
Hawaii as an herbal plant by early Polynesians.
Noni is identifiable by its straight
trunk, large, bright green and elliptical leaves, white tubular flowers and it's distinctive, ovoid, "grenade-like" yellow fruit.
