An American elm located in a parking lot directly across the street from the [[Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building]] in Oklahoma City survived the [[Oklahoma City bombing]] on April 19, 1995, that killed 168 people and destroyed the Murrah building. Damaged in the blast, with fragments lodged in its trunk and branches, it was nearly cut down in efforts to recover evidence. However, nearly a year later the tree began to bloom. Then known as the Survivor Tree, it became an important part of the [[Oklahoma City National Memorial]], and is featured prominently on the official logo of the memorial.<ref name="Oklahoma City National Memorial">{{cite web|url=http://www.oklahomacitynationalmemorial.org/secondary.php?section=5&catid=120&id=62/|title=Survivor Tree: Witness to Tragedy, Symbol of Strength|publisher=Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum|access-date=December 24, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141225022021/http://www.oklahomacitynationalmemorial.org/secondary.php?section=5&catid=120&id=62%2F|archive-date=December 25, 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref>
