This tree is characterized by large leaves, but it is cute at the beginning, and the transparent green is beautiful.
There is also a song dedicated to this tree, which you can listen to by pressing a button.
It feels lonely because there are no leaves, but the branches are stretched out and spread out,
creating a dignified atmosphere.
The flowers are over, the fruits are ripped and you can see the unripe seeds.
The Peace Memorial Museum is crowded with a long line of visitors.
On the other hand, some people visit this tree occasionally.
I would like you to be more interested in the bombed trees.
The leaves are large and impressive, forming a lush crown.
Last year the tree's vigor seemed to be declining slightly,
but the leaves have turned a darker green and the tree appears healthy.
The blossoms will probably come in about a month.
The new leaves, tinged with a reddish green, are unfolding?and they almost feel like flowers themselves.
The second?generation Aogiri, unlike the two bombed parent trees, has a trunk of blue.
Most of the tree is still not in bloom, but a few early ones have begun to flower, their petals curling back.
The buds seem to elongate and swell before opening.
The bomb?surviving Aogiri is often regarded as a symbolic representative of the hibaku trees,
yet I suspect that many people do not actually know what its leaves look like,
how its flowers bloom, what kind of fruit it bears, or how it spends its period of autumn leaf?fall.
To cherish a hibaku tree, the first essential step is to know it deeply.
At present, there are few websites that introduce it in detail,
so I would be glad if this site could help fill that role.
