Akiko Perona, UNITAR chief of communications who was instrumental in helping us plant a hibakujumoku sapling at ICRC, sent us photos of the tree as it stands (July 2024) — a magnificent specimen, clearly ICRC gardeners have taken good care of Hiroshima’s green ambassador of peace.

Avenue de la Paix 19, 1202 Genève, SwitzerlandWe are excited to share an update on the Gingko tree planted at the Geneva Headquarters of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) by Green Legacy Hiroshima. This hibakujumoku was planted in 2013 and has grown beautifully and is flourishing. Its remarkable growth at such a symbolic site embodies resilience and hope, a reminder of ICRC’s humanitarian efforts and also the work and unique contribution of Dr. Marcel Junod to Hiroshima.
….meanwhile at the ICRC Headquarters in Geneva, the Ginkgo just keeps getting taller—since 2013 this is what generous Nature has accomplished!
The gingko at ICRC headquarters is growing stronger and stronger.
The ICRC's ginkgo sapling made it through the Swiss winter.
