5968 - Lahaina Banyan tree


Before

After

From the stories I've read, they haven't given up on the tree. They're hoping it will make a comeback.

Oh no! I do hope it recovers. Do they know what is wrong with it?

I hope so too.

River -It's been scorched but they think the roots have survived.

Sue - Me too.

Even Hawaii's not spared from global warming.

Great blog

As long as the roots are okay, the tree may survive. We can only hope.

Extra note: when we visited Maui in 2017, we visited that tree. I have pictures. It brings the loss home.

I'm pulling for the Banyan Tree! I know it, and Lahaina, well. I am devastated by the news of the Maui fires.

I'm 'rooting' for it to survive :-)

In Scotland Streams are known as Burns

Kirk - Paradise pummeled.

Bill - Claudia and I have been there, a while back, twice.

Deb - It was unbelievable how fast the fire went through the town.

Kathy - HA! Same here. Root root root for the home team.

Stu - That sounded familiar but nothing I could put my finger on. Google says -"related to an Old Welsh word for 'heat' and means 'boiling, surging river'"

I didn't realise it was in the fire zone.

I hope it pulls through! If the roots are okay, it has a chance.
