Kona Tree

Kona Tree is a type of tree found on Jaya and other areas.

Overview
Kona Trees are tall and possess thin trunks and leafy branches.

Within the bark of this tree is a substance known as Conine (コニーネ). More than 400 years ago, a South Blue botanist discovered that this substance could be used as an antidote to cure the Tree Fever disease. On Jaya, Mont Blanc Noland was able to use the Conine from a local Kona Tree to to treat the infected Shandia people.

Trivia

 * Oda confirmed in SBS Volume 32 that "Conine" and "Kona Tree" are inspired by Quinine (キニーネ) found in the bark of Cinchona (キナの木) genus of plants, which is used to treat diseases such as malaria and babesiosis. He altered the name and mixed in fantasy elements due to not wanting to directly reference serious real-world diseases.
 * Interestingly, a chemical known as Conine does in fact exist; an alternate spelling for the poisonous alkaloid in Conium maculatum, also known as poison hemlock.
