2019 Kawazu Sakura Flowering

[Sam] February 14, 2019 18:00

DSC08686ELS'.jpgDSC08689RS'G.jpg Three Kawazu cherry blossoms planted on the northeast side of the Sumida River Terrace Chuo-ohashi Bridge along Shinkawa Park (Shinkawa 2) along the Sumida River Terrace Chuo-ohashi Bridge are blooming.

It is said to be an interseed hybrid of Kanhizakura and oshima cherry, and its flower color is pink or light red and has a darker color than Yoshino cherry tree.

One of the characteristics of the cherry blossom season is that, unlike Yoshino cherry tree, which usually starts to bloom in early February and is in full bloom about a month later, blooms suddenly and scatters.

I hear that the flowering time is greatly affected by the weather of the year, and flowering expectations are difficult, but the appearance of early blooming pink flower colors makes you realize that the arrival of spring is steadily approaching.
