New York: Maggie Feuchter - In Memoriam for My Tree
"Hi Hiroshi, I'm sorry to say but my persimmon tree has passed. I'm a little late in getting the news to you as the last leaf fell at the end of August. Here are some pictures of what it looked like at the very end."
The trees that still live from the time of the atomic bombing in Hiroshima are called, Hibaku trees (A-bombed trees).
Since 2006, from a tree Dr. Riki Horiguchi in Hiroshima, I have been receiving seeds of Round Leaf Holly, Persimmon, Chinaberry, Firmiana simplex, Japanese Hackberry, Ginkgo, Jujube trees, all of which are Hibaku trees.
I have been giving these seeds to the ones that are interested in planting them both in the US and the world. By sharing these seeds, I would like to share the pleasure of growing plants, especially the plants from Hibaku seeds.
