A-bombed Tree

Jujube (Peace Boulevard)
  1 Nishi Kanon-cho,Nishi-Ku,Hiroshima (Peace Boulevard)

  (2019.8.12)
A jujube tree with pillars stands in the green zone of Heiwa Boulevard.
The main trunk has a laceration on the opposite side of the hypocenter,
which seems to be due to the atomic bomb.
This tree may have been replanted without thinking about the direction for transplanting from nearby.
The fruits are sweet and delicious, using dried food in Chinese cuisine. This tree also bears many fruits.

I visited the park not knowing when the new buds would develop or when they would bloom,
but it was still too early and there were no leaves on the branches.
The cherry blossoms were blooming all around,
and there were few people around,
making for a pleasant walk.

(2024.7.6)
The hot summer has begun,
and the shiny leaves are reflecting the sunlight.
The flowering season is over,
and the trees are producing lots of fruit that will ripen in preparation for autumn.
 

(2024.8.18)
The fruit was green a month ago, but now it is yellow,
and the ripe ones are red and spreading on the ground.
Jujube fruit is sweet and delicious, so ants are coming.
 

(2024.9.16)
The jujube fruits have turned red,
and some are still remaining on the ends of the branches,
but many have fallen to the ground.
