A clone of a Callery pear tree that lived through the destruction at Ground
Zero during the 9/11 attacks will make its way today to Middletown, where 37
lives were lost in the terror attacks.
The tree became known as the “survivor tree," and in
the years following the attacks, seedlings from the tree were given across the
world to areas recovering from tragedy.
This marks the first time an
actual clone grown from a branch of the tree will be placed outside of New
York.
