As Maui recovers from the deadly wildfire, arborists and farmers are trying to save Lahaina’s ulu, kukui nut and other culturally important trees.
For people around the world, the green leaves that sprouted from a scorched, 150-year-old banyan tree in the heart of devastated Lahaina symbolized hope following Maui’s deadly wildfire this summer. Teams rushed to flood its roots with water, hoping to save a magnificent tree that had provided shade for community events, a picturesque wedding venue and a popular backdrop for posing tourists.
A staple in some tropical countries, the fruit looks like an oversized, scaly lime. It is typically eaten cooked and is starchy, like potatoes or bread. It has a short shelf life, rotting within 48 hours of ripening. Kaipo Kekona, a ninth-generation Lahaina native, has led efforts to restore its ancient food forests for several years.
