'Miracle pine' seedlings

TOKYO, Japan - A woman shows seedlings in Tokyo on Dec. 14, 2011, of the so-called ''miracle pine'' tree that had survived the March tsunami in Rikuzentakata, Iwate Prefecture. A report to Rikuzentakata authorities said on Dec. 12, 2011, that the continued survival of the tree, which has become a symbol of the city's reconstruction, is in doubt as its roots have begun to rot due to exposure to salt water. The tree was the only survivor among around 70,000 pines that stood in a scenic area of the Pacific coastal city.
