A-bombed Tree

Giant Pussy willow
(Hiroshima Castle)
  21 Motomachi, Naka-ku, Hiroshima (Hiroshima Castle)

  (2007.2.18)
  The main trunk is being broken to the left and right. The branch is supported by a pillar.
Although the leaves do not come out because it is winter,
the branches are spread widely and waiting for sprouting.
 

(2009.6.27)
The main trunk that had been torn was wounded with a rope and treated.
A lot of lush leaves are covered.
 
(2010.4.3)
 
  In the soft sunshine of spring, the inflorescence was beginning to grow.
 
 
  (2017.5.3)
 
  The flowers are over and the inflorescences are dry.
Soft green, wide leaves are attached to the whole.
 
 
(2017.11.3)
  In autumn, the leaves were generally brownish.

Some of the shoots have started to open, but they are still hard and it seems a little early for them to sprout.
The shoots are growing, and it would be great if some of them would grow thicker.
 

(2025.4.20)
I came to photograph this tree when the flowers were at their best.
The yellow-green flowers are in full bloom, making it beautiful.
Some branches hang over the moat, and the branches spread out widely.
 

(2025.5.18)
The flowers have finished blooming and new green leaves are appearing.
There are some dead branches, but overall the leaves are lush and lush.
