2019 Cherry Blossom Flowering

[Sam] March 4, 2019 14:00

DSC08757ELS'.jpgDSC08738RS'G.jpg The early blooming "Okanzakura" on the Sumida River Terrace on the south side of Eitai Bridge West-filled has bloomed.

Okangakura is said to be a hybrid of Kanhizakura and oshima cherry. The tree height is about 5 to 10 meters, the tree shape is large, the light red petals are round and large, and there are many fine cuts at the tip.

It is one of the representative cherry blossoms in early spring, also known as "Angyo Kanzakura", because it spread throughout the country from the logs in Angyo in Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture.

Japanese white-eye and brown-eared bulbul are coming to suck the nectar.

Along with "Kawazu Sakura" on the northeast side of Shinkawa Park Sumida River Terrace Chuo-ohashi Bridge, you can experience spring a little earlier.
