Okanzakura (Okanzakura), which blooms a little earlier than Yoshino cherry tree and has a longer flowering time, is planted in a tree-planting zone where the monument of the birthplace of seafarer education is located on the south side of Eitai Bridge Nishizume. It is also planted on the Koto-ku side of Eitai Bridge Higashizume. Okanzakura is a hybrid of Kanhizakura (Kanhizakura) and oshima cherry (Oshima Sakura), and I heard that it was sometimes called "Angyo Kanzakura" in connection with the birthplace of Yasuyuki, Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture. I hear that the petals are light red, medium-ring, single-flowered, do not open completely, bloom slightly down, are sub tall trees, and often have a large tree. Compared to kawazu-zakura (Kawazu Sakura), which is a hybrid of Kanhizakura and oshima cherry, Kawazu Sakura blooms earlier and has a slightly darker pink color as it is called "purple red". The okanzakura is a branch of the okanzakura·It has the impression that it has been pruned and has become smaller than a moment. brown-eared bulbul is coming to suck the nectar.
