Hiroshima Day: Trees That Survived Nuclear Blast
The article discusses the success of trees that survived the Hiroshima atomic bombing, known as "Hibakujumoku," in enduring and growing after the disaster. Despite the city's destruction and the burning of most trees, some species such as sawtooth oak, camphor, ginkgo, and Japanese rosewood managed to live and reproduce, being revived within just a few years after the 1945 explosion.

By 2025, Hiroshima tree seeds had reached 41 countries, supporting a message of hope and resilience on a global scale.
