The ginkgo's vitality and tenacity are legendary. When the atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima in 1945, it destroyed nearly every living thing in the area. However, some plants, among them four ginkgo trees, survived. Although the trunks of these hibaku trees were charred, they survived without major deformations and are still alive today. For this reason, the ginkgo tree is sometimes called the "bearer of hope."
