<p><a href="https://en.promessedefleurs.eu/shrubs/shrubs-by-variety/prunus.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Japanese Cherry Trees</strong></a>, also known as <strong>Flowering Cherries</strong>, <strong>offer a truly spectacular display of blooms in early spring.</strong> They herald the return of spring and warmer days by covering themselves in a multitude of delicate pink or white flowers. The <strong>Japanese cherry is a small tree that marks the changing seasons:</strong> with spectacular flowering in early spring, foliage that turns beautiful colours in autumn before falling, revealing decorative, smooth bark with horizontal striations in winter.</p> <p>Flowering cherry trees hold great cultural significance in Japan, where they are called <em>Sakura</em>. Each spring, they inspire a ritual called Hanami, where people gather under the cherry trees for picnics. Highly symbolic, the cherry tree represents the ephemeral nature of beauty and life. It has an extremely poetic and delicate quality.</p> <p>Japanese cherry trees offer great diversity in their overall form, with some varieties having upright or weeping habits. There are also dwarf, compact cherry trees suitable for container growing, which can even be trained as bonsai! Although they encompass several species, the most commonly cultivated flowering cherries in France are <em>Prunus serrulata</em>.</p>
