About

Ke'anae Arboretum

Keʻanae Arboretum (6 acres or 2.4 hectares) is an arboretum and botanical garden located on the Hana Highway (Highway 360) about 1-mile (1.6 km) west of Keʻanae, Maui, Hawaiʻi, United States.

Before the 1940s the land the Arboretum sits on was used to farm food, medicine and fiber-producing plants. From 1946 until the mid-1950s, it became an agricultural work site for prisoners at Ke'anae Prison Camp. It was established as an arboretum in 1971.
