tree project

Hiroshi, This is another Hibaku tree, given by Julio Bernal and Semillas de Paz, to the neighborhood Barbarita, very close to the premises of SMC AR Tigre, where the other hibaku is planted. Around 1.000 meters, 10 blocks, more or less between them. Both are camphor trees. These photos are from hibaku camphor tree planted at the entrance square of the neighbourhood, it is already a mature seedling, and the  site of planting is excellent, it has a 360 degree visual. Also it was good to see many kids from the neighbourhood participating in the planting, may this planting be for them a moment of remembrance in the future Kind alberto

Hiroshi / Julio This past weekend we went to Baredero with my wife, this is a town around 145 km NE Buenos Aires, at the National Route 9 that goes to Rosario, Km 301 We have a strange winter now, this past week the average daylight temperature around 20 degrees celsius, so trees begun to flower. The enclosed photo is from a  cherry tree prunus type, quite like the 7 cherry trees we planted on august 6 th  2016 at SMC Tigre. Of course this cherry tree of Baradero is older, no less than 30 years, since the town of Baradero is the oldest of the province Buenos Aires, it was founded on 1615 by a Spanish conqueror, Hernandarias.

Dear Hiroshi and Julio, Today April 26,  we visited the  premises at Tigre, to take a panoramic photo, requested by our mother house in Japan. The tree is still green in the base, we hope it will go well, the gardener found an ant colony in part of the earth and put water to take the ants aways, so the earth move a bit. We have cold weather this days, 8 degrees Celsius in the morning, after almost 10 days of rain in Buenos Aires. We have to wait,  there is good prospect for our Hibaku  J Kind Alberto
