At HK Art Museum, a famous art gallery in Buam-dong with a ginkgo tree nearby, the owner admitted in front of police and residents to poisoning the ginkgo tree without the owner's permission. We need a way to save it now. Looking for someone who can provide relevant treatment/healing. Time is urgent. I've been to the police station and district office's green space department directly. CCTV footage is secured, and the owner confessed in front of police. I'll organize a detailed explanation soon. All residents are angry and sad. Neighbors from the houses in front and back decided to water it together with a hose every day. Teacher Hyun-kyung and Teacher Deok-hee tied ribbons on the tree and are spreading awareness in the area. Tomorrow at 5 PM we're gathering to do a ritual and pray to save the tree. If you care or are nearby, please join us. Looking for someone to film or take photos. Please contact us!

At that stage, it's already been absorbed, so any measures would be a waste of money and the tree will eventually die anyway. Even calling God won't help, not a tree doctor. There are several types of herbicides, but looking at how they drilled holes and injected the drug, it's 100% glyphosate. Glyphosate is an herbicide that gets absorbed and kills from the roots—recovery is impossible. Even trees with strong vitality might survive if only some water vessels remain, but injecting the drug this densely means there's no answer. They probably drilled holes, inserted silicone caps, and poured concentrated herbicide into them. It's heartbreaking... Ginkgo trees can survive even if you peel off the bark because the cork layer is so thick... but like this, there's no hope.

Dear dear tree, please survive!

The ginkgo tree was leaning toward the museum's fence, so they drilled holes without asking permission and pumped in herbicide
