Edohigan cherry (Prunus itosakura) is one of the ten or eleven wild species of cherry trees native to Japan. The name translates to 'Tokyo higan,' given because it was seen in many places around Tokyo (formerly called Edo before it was renamed in 1868) and because it begins to flower around the spring higan period—three days before and after the spring equinox (shunbun). Despite its name, the tree can now be found across Japan.
Edohigan cherry trees can live for hundreds or even a thousand years, which is much longer than the 60-to-100-year lifespan of most other cherry trees. Furthermore, Edohigan is a parent of both the Somei Yoshino and weeping cherry varieties.

江戸彼岸桜です。東京近辺で春の彼岸の頃に咲き始めるのでエドヒガンだそうです。ソメイヨシノの親品種ですが、染井吉野よりはるかに長寿で中には千年以上生きる木もあるそうです。ちなみに枝垂れ桜の親も江戸彼岸。江戸彼岸が突然変異して枝が枝垂れるようになってできたのが枝垂れ桜だそうです。
