On this day in 1945, America dropped an atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima, killing at a conservative estimate something over 100,000 innocent civilians. Almost unbelievably, 170 hibakujumoku trees standing in the blast zone not only survived but are still there now, still producing seeds.
In 2011 two friends, Nassrine Azimi and Tomoko Watanabe, created Green Legacy, an organisation that sends seeds from the same hibakujumoku trees to war-torn regions of the earth. Currently seeds and saplings from the bombed trees are growing in more than 30 countries.
