Introduction to Japanese late cherry blossom

Cherry blossoms are shallow-rooted tree species that prefer sunlight and deep, fertile, well-drained soil, and have a certain degree of cold tolerance.

Japanese late cherry blossoms are large and fragrant, and when in full bloom they are a profusion of flowers, possessing both the subtle fragrance of plum and the brilliance of peach, making them an excellent choice among cherry blossoms.

Generally speaking, cherry blossoms are best planted in groups, most suitably in massed group plantings, with evergreen trees interplanted between the groups as a foil. This not only fully brings out the ornamental effect of the cherry blossoms but also helps with the prevention and control of pests and diseases. Among Japanese late cherry blossoms, the large and fragrant varieties as well as the four-season-blooming "Four Seasons Cherry" are all suitable for planting beside garden buildings or as solitary specimens; as for the "Oshima Cherry" among late cherry blossoms, it is a good material for coastal cities and industrial and mining cities.
