Phoenix Trees Exposed to the A-bomb, Survivor trees in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, Japan
The Phoenix Trees stand as natural markers within the park, displaying their aged trunks that endured the direct impact of the 1945 atomic blast.
These trees remained in the courtyard of the Hiroshima Post and Telecommunications Bureau until 1973, when they were moved to their current location.
The Phoenix Trees represent the strength of nature through adversity, producing seeds that now grow in numerous locations across Japan and internationally.
Visitors can locate these trees within the Peace Memorial Park grounds, marked with information plaques detailing their historical connection to the bombing.
Despite receiving intense radiation and heat that stripped their branches bare, these trees generated new growth the following spring, defying expectations.
