Hiroshima A-bombed tree seeds germinate in Gloucestershire

Posted by Landscape Juice on August 11, 2015 at 8:07am

Seeds from a tree that survived the bombing of Hirsohima have germinated at a Gloucestershire botanical garden.

Batsford Arboretum were sent seeds from a 200-year-old ginkgo growing 4,265ft (1,300m) from the 1945 atomic blast in Japan by Green Legacy Hiroshima (GLH).

GLH manages 170 "survivor trees" and helps grow them around the world.

Head gardener, Matthew Hall, said: "I put them in the fridge at work and a few people were worried," but they "look fresh, young and just beautiful".
