It’s 2023 now. Over a month ago, the Maui wildfires happened. People tried their best to save the land. It was a long road in front of them. But recently, progress has been made. A famous tree is giving people hope.
The tree was planted in 1873. When it was first planted, the tree stood at 8 feet tall — now, it’s over 60 feet high. But when the Maui fires started, the tree was badly hurt. Ever since then, people have been working hard to save it. Now, what they’ve been doing is working.
In a video posted on the Internet, we can see bright green leaves growing from the tree. “On the tree, as soon as we see a new green leaf, we know that the tree’s responding to our treatments (治疗), or we may have to change our treatments,” Steve Nimz said. “The tree is going to tell us what to do.”
Although it will take time, these new leaves are telling us that everything is going to be OK. Annelise Cochran, who lives there, said, “The trees were very badly hurt by the fires, and it’s going to take a really, really long time until everything feels normal, but their roots (根) are very strong.
