Miracle Pine: 2011 Tsunami Survivor

When Japan was struck by a tsunami on March 2011, an entire forest on the
country’s central Pacific coast was washed away, except for a lone pine
tree. Out of 70,000 trees, the 250-year-old Miracle pine tree in
Rikuzentakata was the only survivor. Although the tree survived initially,
high salinity slowly killed its roots until the tree was dead 18 months
later. After that, the 27-meter-tall tree removed and a metal skeleton was
inserted into its trunk to preserve its shape. Additionally, replica
branches and leaves made from a synthetic resin was added and the tree was
returned to its original location.
