About the cherry blossom
Joyful harbingers of spring, cherry blossoms create spectacular canopies of colour during the blooming season, between mid-March and early May. The fragrant though fleeting flowers, which leave behind a delicate carpet of petals, are symbolic of beauty and the transience of life. In Japan, sakura, as cherry blossoms are called, are the inspiration for national celebrations. In Canada, dazzling displays can be found along city streets and in many parks and gardens across the country. Vancouver boasts the largest collection, with more than 20,000 trees, and attracts thousands of wide-eyed spectators to its annual cherry blossom festival.
Ornamental cherry trees were first officially introduced to North America in the early 1900s as gifts from Japan. Prunus 'Kanzan' is a cold-hardy cultivar beloved for its large, deep-pink double flowers. Prunus 'Somei-yoshino' cherries are the focus of flower-viewing parties (hanami) that take place across Japan and in other parts of East Asia. Shrouded in clusters of white to pale-pink petals, the tall, umbrella-shaped trees appear like clouds in the sky when they are in bloom.
