The jack pine is ready for forest fires. The treeâs waxy cones only open in high heat, such as from a fire. The cones spill their seeds onto the charred ground. Soon, new jack pines start growing.

The city of Tokyo had a problem. Summer heat was keeping tourists away. Something had to be done by 2020, when the city would host the Summer Olympics.
