 2022 "Sakura-colored Spring News" one step ahead of the blue sky

 Three Kawazu cherry trees are planted in the sunny tree-planting zone on the northeast side of the Sumida River Terrace Chuo-ohashi Bridge along Shinkawa Park (Shinkawa 2) along the Sumida River.   Flowering was delayed this year, but it began to bloom at once.   Kawazu Sakura is a natural hybrid of Kanhizakura and oshima cherry, the flower color is pink or light red, and the petals are strong reddish. It is characterized by the fact that it usually begins to bloom around early February and is in full bloom about a month later, and the best season is long.   It is a characteristic different from Yoshino cherry tree, which is a symbol of ephemerality and ephemerality, but after the full bloom, the flowers do not scatter, but the leaves come out and the momentum of the flowers fade, so it is best to see the cherry blossoms around six to eight minutes bloom.                       The flowering time is greatly affected by the weather of the year, and I hear that the flowering forecast is difficult to read until just before.                                In Kawazu-cho, Kamo-gun, Shizuoka Prefecture, where Kawazu-zakura is derived, about 8,000 trees are planted around 850 rows of cherry trees along the Kawazu River, and you can enjoy the contrast with canola flower every year.    Last year, the Kawazu Sakura Festival was canceled to prevent the spread of COVID-19, but this year it was held from February 1 to 28, taking measures to prevent infection and reducing the scale.
