O, the Fecundity

This Kalakaua Avenue banyan isn't particularly large or famous, and it's easy to pass it by with all the distractions of Waikiki.

The lushness and rapidity of plant growth is remarkable, even on built-over Kalakaua Avenue. The largest banyan tree in Hawaii covers two-thirds of an acre and is less than 150 years old. The Kalakaua banyan could grow to be such a monster if it were not constrained, but it is, so it won't.
