Japanese Fern Tree Leaf Waiawi Hawaiiana on White by Petter Johansen

Above are two Japanese Fern Tree twigs (Filicium decipiens) and below Waiawi ula'ula (Psidium cattleianum) and Yellow Waiawi Guava (Psidium lucidum) leaves on a white background. 

The Japanese Fern Tree (Filicium decipiens) is a popular decorative tree, with red berries and lush strong evergreen leaves, it is found planted in gardens and parks in Honolulu, and next to the Hong Kong Orchid Tree this was one of the first trees I noticed in Hawaii.
