2018 Okamezakura Flowering

[Sam] March 8, 2018 12:00

DSC01998ELS'.jpgP3040462RS'G.jpg Okamezakura of Nihonbashi Honmachi "Ajisai-dori St." is blooming.

Okamezakura is said to have been created by a British cherry researcher by crossing Mamezakura and Kanhizakura, and the flowers are dark, especially with dark red calyx, due to the characteristics of Kanhizakura, and are conspicuous downward. It blooms and has a taste.

It seems that the name may have been named as synonymous with Japanese beauty.

It is said that the tree height is about 3m and does not grow too large, and the branches do not spread sideways, so it is suitable for planting small land.

A row of cherry blossom trees continues to the ward border with Chiyoda-ku.
