This morning Uta planted a tree seed given to him by our friend Hiroshi ('The good Hiroshi', as he has come to be distinguished by Uta). This seed is very special because it is a great grandchild of a Hibaku Tree. Hibaku means something that has experienced a nuclear bomb. These are the trees that survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, on August 6, 1945.
Hiroshi is fostering many of these seeds, placing them in homes all over the United States and the world. His efforts will culminate in an exhibition, where the seedlings will make their debut, at The Horticultural Society of New York in December 2009. We are so honored to take part.
