Cherry blossom tree

Cherry blossom trees, known as Sakura in Japan, are celebrated for their stunning pink and white flowers. They typically bloom in spring, attracting many visitors to parks and gardens. There are several varieties, including the Yoshino cherry and the weeping cherry, each with unique characteristics.

These trees prefer well-drained soil and full sun. They are often planted in groups to create beautiful displays. The blooming season is a key cultural event in Japan, celebrated with hanami (flower viewing) picnics.
