[@dianemertensmaxham7476]

Wow, looking much better! ❤

[@gracemcknight3943]

Nature gives us hope❤️

[@tahoesnowlion]

I can still remember the rest of Lahaina surrounding the Banyan Tree.

[@le_th_]

Still hard to accept what happened there, and I can only begin to imagine how the locals who live there feel today. I hope people's hearts are healing

[@bjornfleuren]

Wow, amazing nature.

[@LauraTuller]

My all time favorite place! Wishing Lahaina a speedy recovery. 🙏🏼💗🌴🏖️

[@jeffreyk9743]

I've noticed there's nothing in the media lately

[@josephastier7421]

Because it happened a year ago. “News” means what it says.

I was there a year and a half ago I’m so happy to see the tree is alive

[@Grumpy922]

[@jacquelinegarcia1219]

Its growing back !

[@steveporter8619]

I’ve sat under that tree personally, and it’s my favorite tree in the whole world

[@arthurferraz9662]

Great news!

[@robwilkes6394]

Mahalo Jesse, Aloha!

[@larrytrujillo7293]

We vacationed in Lahaina just days before the fire. So saddened to see that history gone. The people will rebuild but what's most saddening is the lost historical sites, artifacts in the museums and the locals losing so much. God speed Lahaina!

[@1983rainyday]

Keep the land for da locals at any cost

[@user-iw9bc7iz9d]

I've been lucky enough to have been here a few times now. Such a magnificent place. What an absolute tragedy 😢. Blessings to everyone over there. 🇦🇺

[@SunflowerVibe329]

God bless from Arizona 🎉🎉!!

[@BigBirdy100]

I hope the town will build fireproof structures this time. Concrete Tilt-up construction or form poured. Because even though they say lightning doesn't strike twice, I wouldn't trust it.

[@barbararamirez7770]

Praise God for small miracles 🙏

[@13phammy]

That was so sad 😢- looking better though😊

[@user-ye1qp3vi6w]

Mahalo Jesse! I love it! Is that song available for purchase/download?

[@user-bs7ib8yj7u]

Will never be the same!

[@philipponte5643]

I’m from the Azores islands. It’s like the Hawaii of Europe. It’s so green and humid there, because there islands like Hawaii. I just want to know how green vegetation burn like that. Have you ever tried to burn wet green wood? Come on! This was deliberate. I feel so awful for the Hawaiians. This property I believe is being stolen from them

[@user-ui2wm7gy7j]

Fire was near SUMMER'S END. LAHAINA means RELENTLESS SUN.

[@lindastark1110]

This is awesome, my first thoughts were, when I heard about the fire. the banyon tree😢 did it burn? Your awesome ❤

[@billl1127]

The Gods said, "No! You will not take this tree."

[@Spmama444]

It’s so painful we were just there visiting my father in law had the best time the BEST GF fish tacos on the island!!!! And Fish Co…for the second year in a row!!! And then we flew away a few days later this happened :( I can’t bring myself to go see but I will be burning the book!!!!

[@NotTheDuoLingo]

Crazy how there’s no help from the government to rebuild the island, BUT EVERYONE WILL HELP BUILD A WALL

[@sjsharksfan8573]

With all that's going on that's where you go? Not the billions to fight wars that have nothing to do with our country that will only bring us into WWW3 and your fight is with a wall? God help us!

[@InvictusGSD]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@jerai2691]

should take that Ukraine $$$ and help

[@piakozaris1432]

The United States should rebuild these peoples houses! They wanted Hawaii! Take care of your people first! This was an attack on Maui because their land was wanted by the elites? We all know what’s going on in the world ! 🌎 😢

[@roxane7432]

I cant look. The horror is still in my head

[@auntiesocial808]

Sistah, I just broke down in tears 😢🔥🤞🏽❤️@roxane7432

[@teriliebmann3491]

🙏

[@joannewachel2505]

I hope that they do not build so close to this tree again. Last time I was there I was really disappointed at the over abundance of building that detracted from its natural beauty. A simple Lahaina was much more appealing to me and I know the native Hawaiians would agree as I have spoken to several when I have visited. It’s coming back to life nicely.

WHAT ABOUT THOSE MISSING KIDS

[@Whatsittoya88]

Oprah

[@vstefe1280]

Catch up. They are all accounted for.

[@claudiamicco752]

😢

[@peter-pg5yc]

OK so video of clean up. Now reality show us where the cleanup items went. Do a full story of event. What happened to the waste, its an island??

[@Lelabear]

They dumped all the toxic waste in a landfill on sacred land (Pele's womb) where it can drain into the ocean by the mother coral reef. All the protesting and testimony were in vain.

[@linkabird_vt]

This is covered in other videos.

[@Torchriver67]

Where is the Hawaiian fish trap from Lahaina?

[@josephastier7421]

Can’t kill a fig tree.

[@RJ-lk5pj]

Great place to vacation 🤧🤔🤫🫣

[@chriswilson5203]

nice for the tree ,how about all the missing kids ?

[@bearg4019]

Why isn't everything being re built..

[@linkabird_vt]

They're still cleaning up. Residents are starting to be able to start construction. Thousands of buildings were destroyed, it takes a while to clean all that up.

[@candrakane4642]

Permit Problems!! True Fact!!☹️😥🙏✝️⚖️🇺🇸🌎🌎🕊️❤️🔥🌺

[@IMEMINE.]

Trumps merica

[@Paul-wv6cj]

Honestly I don't give a crap about the stupid tree!! I've seen it, it was nothing special!! Look how much of Maui burned!! This is where me and my ex wife went on our baby moon went before my son was born!! The rest of Maui is what I loved!! Businesses across the street burned to the ground that I visited! Restaurants that we visited! Homes of locals and more! Innocent people killed!! And we're praising a stupid F'ing tree???

[@bill9540]

A little tone deaf?? It’s a rallying point and source of pride for the locals. And you mention YOURSELF 7 times in your comment…it’s not about you!

[@candrakane4642]

Real Nice Attitude!! That Really Helps!!☹️🤐

[@ericwhitley3173]

That's good ...WHAT ABOUT THE 2 THOUSAND MISSING CHILDREN 😢?

[@Whatsittoya88]

Oprah has them

[@jamesthedude....9584]

I saw Jerry Garcia sitting under it playing guitar in 1993 on a Sunday morning.
