September 2017:

Tomoko Watanabe, Co-Founder of GLH, visited the saplings at Kirstenbosch during her trip to South Africa. She also took part in a planting ceremony at the Cape Town Holocaust Centre. 

Adam Harrower, Senior Botanical Horticulturist at Kirstenbosch, has arranged to take the remaining saplings to Vergelegen, where they will be planted in Vergelegen's arboretum. He also gave Willem Pretorius, a bonsai expert at the Stellenbosch Botanical Garden, many Kurogane holly seedlings, which Mr. Pretorius plans to cultivate into a Hiroshima bonsai forest.
