Over the years, the tree provided shade for people looking for a place to rest and a home for birds, along with the first blooms of spring. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOn September 11, 2001, everything changed. The tree's home was destroyed, and it was buried under the rubble. But a month after tragedy struck, a shocking discovery was made at Ground Zero: the tree had survived. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDubbed the \"Survivor Tree,\" it was moved to the Bronx to recover. And in the thoughtful care of the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, the Callery pear was nursed back to health. Almost a decade later, the Survivor Tree returned home and was planted in the 9\/11 Memorial to provide beauty and comfort...and also hope. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This is the story of that tree--and of a nation in recovery.
