Update: the Historic Banyan Tree in Lahaina that was heavily damaged in wildfires is showing signs of life! It remains devastating how much damage was done to Hawaii, but this is hope 😊 I wish to see the community make a steady recovery

My husband and I visited that tree 6 years ago on our honeymoon, it was beyond impressive. Banyan trees are so amazing and a favorite of mine. I was so sad to hear how badly it suffered from the fires. It’s great to see the new growth.

Trees are an important part of life- and yes, it remains infinitely devastating the damage that was cause by these awful fires.
