The surviving trees of Sannō Shrine have become another living demonstration of destruction and re-growth.
 Two large camphor trees were scorched, burned and stripped of all leaves by the bomb's shock wave; and yet, despite everything, the trees survived.
 One tree in Nagasaki was designated a natural monument on February 15, 1969.

The dead parts of the living trees have been enveloped by new growth.
