A-bombed Tree

Camphor tree and Japanese Quince
(Misasa Shrinei)
  1-11-5,Misasa-cho, Nishi-ku, Hiroshima (Misasa shrine)

  (2022.5.5)


Camphor trees have bumps due to pruning.
The tree is thin considering its estimated age of 120 years, and is covered with colonizing plants,
so the tree does not seem to be doing very well.
The sprouts were illuminated by the light and glowed red.

 
 

There is a Japanese quince tree near the approach to the shrine on the east side.
The flowering season was over and the fruit was beginning to bear.
The flowers that bloom in April are beautiful.
 
(2023.3.25)

It's time for the camphor tree to open new leaves.
There are more leaves than last year, and it seems that they are regaining some energy.
 

The flowers are at their best at this time, and the whole tree is in full bloom.
Mainly white flowers, but red flowers are mixed here and there.
Fresh green is also beautiful.
