The trees that survived the blast and heat of an atomic bomb and still stand today are called "hibakujumoku."
Many hibakujumoku, or literally atomic bombed trees, still bear the traumatic scars that were left by the atomic bomb.
They serenely still stand in areas where buildings were destroyed and many people lost their lives.
Some of the hibakujumoku are hundreds of years old and require specialized examination and treatment by tree doctors.
The city of Nagasaki compensates the owners for treatment to preserve these trees.
