Lahaina Banyan Court Park
20° 52.3′ N · 156° 40.7′ W
The giant banyan planted in 1873 beside the harbor, once described as the largest in the United States. It was scorched in the 2023 fire and is being nursed back; its leafing-out has become a symbol of Lahaina's recovery.
Practical
Closed to the public until safety hazards are fixed, together with the Old Lahaina Courthouse (Maui County, Aug 2026). View it only from the open harbor-access routes. Wikivoyage (2025) reports the tree was seriously damaged but expected to survive, with rehabilitation ongoing.
