From April to May, the dogwood on Matsuya-dori, which delighted us with white and pink flowers (to be exactly what looks like a petal is called a total bract) is beautifully colored
.
If you look closely, you will bear bright red fruits.
dogwood is native to the United States, and the official Japanese name is American yamaboshi.
The planting in Japan began in 1912 when Yukio Ozaki, then mayor of Tokyo, presented Sakura (Yoshino cherry tree) to Washington D.C., United States of America.
It is now a very familiar tree as a street tree.
When the dogwood on Matsuya Street turns red and the ginkgo on Showa-dori begins to turn yellow, I feel that the end of the year is approaching.
By the way, the ward tree in Minato-ku, next to Chuo-ku is dogwood.
