Prunus x Yedoensis (Yoshino Cherry) Blossoms 染井吉野(ソメイヨシノ)

Japanese follows English. 英語の後に日本語が続きます。

These are Prunus x yedoensis or Yoshino cherry blossoms. Yoshino cherry is one of the most popular cherry cultivars in Japan. I was so lucky to be able to take these close-up photos of such beautiful Yoshino cherry blossoms this season.

Most of the Yoshino cherry trees in my neighborhood are tall and have blossoms high on the trees, but on March 27 when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom in Tokyo this year, I found several Yoshino cherry trees, which were tall but had blossoms lower, like 2 meters from the ground.

Now I'm looking forward to seeing my another favorite cherry blossoms, i.e., Gyoiko. They're green/yellow, starting to bloom in mid to late April.    

If you're interested in other cherry blossoms, YokoOkameKawazu, and Taiwan cherry blossoms, which are all pink, and Oshima cherry blossoms, which are mostly white, click the link(s)!

染井吉野です。近所の染井吉野はどれも大きな木でアップで写真撮れなかったのですが、今年低いところに花をつけている木を見つけてもう夢中で撮りました。後はもう一つのお気に入りの桜、御衣黄の開花を待つのみです。
