The City Tree
The camphor tree
was chosen from 7 other types of tree as
the City's
tree in August 1972 based on the results of a vote
by the people
of the city. It waschosen for the following reasons:
-it was the
most popular choice in the poll.
-it is evergreen
and grows quickly.
-it is well
adjusted to the climate of Nagoya.
-it grows
near the T.V. tower, Atsuta Shrine, Nagoya Castle and
other famous locations in the city and is therefore familiar
to the people of the city .
-it is suited
to the landscape of the city and will be useful
in promoting the "greenification" of the city .
