Banyan Tree Park in Maui, Hawaii.

Lahaina Banyan Court Park is a public park located at the corner of Front Street and Canal Street in the town of Lahaina, Hawaii. Commonly called Banyan Tree Park, Sheriff William Owen Smith planted an Indian banyan tree in the courtyard square in 1873 to memorialize the 50th anniversary of the first American Protestant mission in Lahaina. The banyan tree has become the largest banyan tree in Hawaii, and one of the largest in the United States. Its extensive trunk and aerial root system now covers 0.66 acres.
