Fibers soaked for a few hours to free pulp, dried in the sun for a day or two, and then could be used. The fibers were very durable lasting two years or more. The cordage was used for cords (hwele) or nets (kk puupuu) designed to carry umeke (food or water containers).The stringy fibers were also made into brushes to paint color onto tapa.The leaves and seed/fruit were used in lei.
