They took all the trees
And put them in a tree museum
And they charged all the people
A dollar and a half just to see 'em
we already knew about honolulu's royal hawaiian hotel being the pink hotel in
joni's song Big Yellow Taxi...
the news is that dave donelly, reporter for honolulu's Star-Bulletin, inform's
us that:
<<"Big Yellow Taxi," by the way, was written about Hawaii and the "tree
museum" she sang about where they charged you to see the trees was Foster
Garden ...>>
new fees to see the trees?:
Admission
$5.00 - General, 13 years and older
$3.00 - Resident of Hawaii, 13 years and older with ID
$1.00 - Child, 6 to 12 years old
FREE - Child, 5 years old and under (must be with adult)
$25.00 - Annual family pass
(May be used at Foster Botanical Garden and the Honolulu Zoo.)

and as thomas merton pointed out, the first planted tree was only significant
because it was planted by the mayor's daughter...
