I finally got round to planting my tree a couple of weeks ago - and this morning my girlfriend emailed me a picture of it sprouting! Can't wait to get back to NY to see the progress.
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.
