"Kanhizakura", which is planted on the "Sakura promenade" along Harumi Triton Square and the Asashio Canal, is at its best.
It is a warm cherry tree that blooms before ordinary cherry blossoms in early spring when it is still cold, and blooms bright scarlet or dark pink florets full of branches.
The tree shape is cohesive, the flowers do not open and are bell-shaped, and bloom like a bird.
The calyx tubes and sepals are also scarlet.
It is a species distributed in southern China and Taiwan, etc. It is said that it is also used in Okinawa to declare the flowering of cherry blossoms.
It is sometimes called "Hikanzakura", but it is often referred to as "Kanhizakura" in recent years because it is easily confused with "Hikanzakura".
