Japanese Cherry

El símbolo por excelencia de la primavera en Japón, los cerezos japoneses producen efímeras nubes de flores blancas y rosas cada primavera: un acontecimiento cultural llamado hanami (contemplación de flores) celebrado durante siglos. Alcanzando hasta 25 metros, fueron domesticados a partir de especies silvestres de Prunus a lo largo de más de un milenio de cultivo selectivo, produciendo principalmente variedades ornamentales estériles que se propagan por injerto. Se reconocen más de 200 cultivares, siendo el Somei Yoshino el que constituye la mayoría de las famosas avenidas de cerezos de Japón.
