October 2024:

The Royal Horticultural Society and Emilios Theodosiou are working hard preparing to raise tree seeds sent by GLH from Hiroshima. The plan is to create displays in their U.K. gardens for 2045, to commemorate 100 years since the atomic bombings. The picture shows pots containing seeds for Gingko Biloba, Camphor, Kurogane Holly, Persimmon, Chinese Hackberry and Oriental Plane Tree. They propose for the full-size trees to be displayed alongside bonsai Gingko also originating from GLH.  The Gingko saplings, currently being turned into bonsai at Herons Bonsai, were donated by Aberdeen City Council.
