The Yoshino cherry tree of Ginza Sakura-dori St. was in full bloom on a blog on March 29, but "Kanzan" is overwhelmingly more of the cherry blossoms
planted on this street, and now this Kanzan is in full bloom.
Kanzan (Sekiyama) is a horticultural variety of cherry blossoms in the Satozakura group.
It seems that the scientific name is registered under the name Sekiyama.
It is a very common species in Yaezakura, and it is easy to grow, so it is often planted as street trees and park trees.
It seems that the flowering season will begin from mid-April to early May, but did the flowering accelerate this year due to the climate?
In contrast to the light pink color of Yoshino cherry tree, large flowers and buds are dark cherry-colored.
Kanzan can enjoy the flowering season longer than Yoshino cherry tree.
By the way, Kanzan is often made into salted cherry blossoms and becomes the source of Sakurayu.
