A banyan tree growing on top of the ruins of an old sugar mill that shut down in the 1900s. Located on the farm of @npub14lsr...cydh 's friend. Here's a history of the mill and plantation it was a part of: https://www2.hawaii.edu/~speccoll/p_kauhut.html It's in a very remote part of the island. It's hard to get to today, and I can't imagine how hard it was to get there back in the early 1900s. But that's how profitable it was to farm sugar. Colonials established plantations in the middle of the Pacific ocean, on other people's land, growing a plant not from there, bringing in laborers from various other countries, and shipping the output to other places. All of this was vastly profitable, until it wasn't, and they shut everything down and left. That's extractivism. The banyan (another non-native plant) has the last laugh. #hawaii #history #plants #sugar #colonialism #empire #labor #ecology #agriculture
