One year after the devastating Maui wildfire that ravaged Lahaina, an iconic banyan tree is displaying remarkable signs of recovery thanks to dedicated arborists.
This 150-year-old banyan tree, originally brought from India to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first Protestant missionaries in Lahaina, faced severe damage during the August 2023 wildfire.
The catastrophic blaze claimed over 100 lives in Lahaina, marking a tragic chapter in the town’s history.
