The Banyan tree lives in the heart of Lahaina town and stands 50 feet tall, is nearly a quarter of a mile around and has over than 10 trunks that anchor it into the ground! A little history from Lahaina.com - the tree was only 8 feet tall when it was brought from India and first planted by the courthouse in 1873 by the sheriff of Old Lahaina Town, William Owen Smith. Its original purpose was a celebration of the 50th anniversary of Lahaina’s first Christian Mission.
Today it provides the shade for the celebration of life in Lahaina. Beneath it you’ll find craft shows, music events, meetings and those who are just in search of a nice place to sit and rest.
