Camphor Tree(on the southside of the court buildings)
This tree was exposed to the bombing at a distance of 1,120 meters from the hypocenter. With a height of 17.5 meters and trunk circumference of 3.80 meters, the impressive branches hardly seems like they come from a hibaku tree at all.
Note: the tree is located inside the Hiroshima District Court grounds and entrance without prior permission is strictly prohibited.
