America burned Japan's first gift of cherry trees. All 2,000 of them, on President Taft's direct order.

The 1910 shipment arrived in DC crawling with insects and nematodes. Agriculture inspectors condemned the lot, Taft signed off on the bonfire, and the State Department braced for a diplomatic disaster. Tokyo's mayor, Yukio Ozaki, responded by sending 3,020 more, grafted from the famous grove along the Arakawa River.

Those trees have spent a century paying the friendship back.

Four days after Pearl Harbor, vandals chopped down four of them. Park officials renamed the survivors "Oriental" cherry trees for the rest of the war to protect them from axes.

Then came the twist. By 1952 the original Arakawa grove in Tokyo, the parent stock, had nearly died from wartime neglect. Japan asked Washington for help. The Park Service shipped budwood from DC's trees back across the Pacific and restored the grove that created them. When a flood wiped out more Japanese trees in 1982, horticulturists took 800 fresh cuttings from the Tidal Basin.

These 250 new trees solve a real problem too. The Tidal Basin is sinking, and a $133 million seawall rebuild forced crews to rip out roughly 150 trees. Japan offered replacements before anyone asked, timed to America's 250th birthday.

So the genetics run in a loop. Tokyo's grove seeded Washington's. Washington's saved Tokyo's. The saplings going in this spring descend from both.

114 years of diplomacy, running on grafted branches.

@JackmoveJohnny You're correct. I assumed that they came out at the same time as 4k TVs but I was wrong.

HACER AMÉRICA GRANDE OTRA VEZ 🇺🇸 🇦🇷

Hace 250 años un grupo de hombres fundaba una república sobre una idea simple pero a la vez revolucionaria: que todos los hombres son iguales ante Dios, y que son poseedores de derechos naturales inalienables a la vida, la libertad y la propiedad.

Bajo esta premisa, ese país se convirtió rápidamente en el opuesto absoluto de los países que abrazaron las ideas contrarias: las del comunismo. La prosperidad de los EEUU es la envidia de todos los pueblos oprimidos, pero ella palidece frente a la libertad con la que cuentan sus ciudadanos y es, de hecho, una mera consecuencia de su preservación.

La Argentina fue un país fundado bajo este mismo anhelo. Una democracia liberal, cuyo deber es proteger la libertad de las personas y sus frutos. Por eso, quienes no están de acuerdo con este principio básico no pueden llamarse verdaderos patriotas. Dado que Argentina, como Estados Unidos, se fundó bajo ese principio, quien atente contra él no es más que un traidor a la patria.

Entendemos que estos valores son propios de ambos países y que ponerlos en el centro es la llave para hacer a toda América grande otra vez, desde Alaska a Tierra del Fuego. Felicito a todos los estadounidenses en este 4 de julio y cuento con que sigan siendo un faro de libertad en el Norte, mientras volvemos a hacer de la Argentina un faro de la libertad en el Sur.

Feliz 4 de Julio!

VIVA LA LIBERTAD CARAJO...!!!

Every time I learn something new about our founding, I think, “There’s no way this was all by chance.” Thank the Lord for His providence and grace in the creation of this outstanding nation. Happy 4th to y’all and happy 250th to my beloved America! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
