@abcworldnews: Today marks one year since the start of the devastating #wildfires in West #Maui that left 100 people dead or missing, destroyed thousands of structures and parched the local landscape. Before and after photos show the new growth of the beloved 151-year-old #banyantree, which often serves as the symbol of the #historic town of #Lahaina. About 40% of the #tree was lost in the wildfires, so the dead wood has been removed, and the tree will undergo a form of "reconstructive surgery" over the next 10 to 20 years to guide and prune the new growth to become a new canopy, according to Timothy Griffin, the County of Maui #arborist who cares for the historic banyan tree. #WorldNewsTonight #WNT #News #ABCNews #Hawaii #mauifire #wildfire #fire #recovery
