@@hakobpoghosyan9258 I wonder if we could send every seed that we grow and see if this could help with agriculture, space fruits and vegetables would be interessting
DLR, the German space travel agency , just did a science project for primary school kids called Space Seeds. They sent wild flower seeds to space for 6 months and in a blind study you got 2 color coded packages to plant and observe the growth of the plants. They also came to the conclusion that the seeds that were in space showed faster and stronger growth than the earth seeds. It was a great project! My students enjoyed participating
Yup lived in Korea for years, travelled across the united states for the Army… Born and raised in Hawaii, yet i only spent 2 weeks in Japan and will never forget how amazing this country is.. So clean and the people are nice, the food is delicious and like the basically 0% crime is out of this world.. You wont know unless you go..
The most common Sakura, the shimeiyoshino I think, were all cloned from from cuttings from a single tree. Interesting that a tree that was grown from a seed would mutate, though it does make sense that it might mutate.
I'm with the pollination theory if 6 petal cherry blossoms are a thing on Earth. Otherwise, I'd bet the time in space altered the seed's genes. The hanging down may just be due to the "extra" weight of the 6th petal? It's nice seeing you again , Hannah.
I wonder if the pollen from this tree is altered? Won’t it effect other trees and the seeds created from the regular blossoms pollinated by the space tree pollen?
I'm tripped out that he was eating them raw they have to be processed or they contain a compound that when you eat it or turns to cyanide! Plus how much he was eating even when it's pickled & candied it's recommended to eat it in small amounts. 😅 Flower buds can be preserved Japanese-style as 'sakura' by salting, pickling in plum vinegar and drying. Or to candy the petals for use as a garnish, paint whisked egg white on both sides, sprinkle with caster sugar and leave to dry. It's advisable just to eat cherry blossoms in small amounts, particularly raw.
I want to spend my life in peace and quiet in a house in the middle of the field full of cherry blossoms they're so gorgeous I want to see one in person 😭😭
I think you’d have to plant them yourself though… and they stay in full bloom for a short amount of time. That’s why they represent life, beautiful yet delicate.
I live in a very very countryside city in Brazil and we also had a tree that went to the moon, its in a park that takes care of it. The city's name is Santa Rosa in the state of Rio Grande do Sul if you want to look it up, it's not a sakura tree
Ive barely been out of my state, but visiting Japan has been my dream since i was 11! Beautiful architecture, history, & cat loving culture!!! I hope to go one day!
I came to this video tryna figure out more about sakura seeds that traveled to space, but ended up staying for the beautiful & oddly calming shots of a part of Japan, and the fact that Sakuraco and Tokyo Treat sponsored this video made me watch the whole thing (since I like looking at the snacks) 10/10 like this content
Noticed they recently raised Fugi-san’s alert level to watch. Recording seismic activity indicative of moving magma. Ticking time bomb but sure is gorgeous on the rare clear day.
The Jindai Zakura is an Edo (Yedo) higan zakura, one of the oldest breeds of wild cherry tree in Japan. The famous Yoshino cherry trees in Washington, DC, USA, is a hybrid of the Edo higan and Oshima zakura.
Haha, First Lady Helen Taft and Viscountess Chinda planted the first two cherry trees on the Tidal Basin in 1912 after some 2,000 saplings were gifted by the Japanese Ambassador, Chinda's husband. It took the saplings 3 years to make the complete journey from Japan to D.C. safely. Today, with nearly 15 varieties spread across the city, cherry trees are the most common type of tree in D.C., and the two original trees still stand.
Back when I was a kid, a local community college (I believe) got a hold of some tomato seeds that were sent to space much like these trees. When they came back and were grown, the tomatoes had gold spots all over them which was so weird looking. Now I hate raw tomatoes but when someone offers you a piece of space tomato to eat you obviously eat it! LOL
5:35 Ojisan exposed... Beautiful video. I'd love to get some seeds from the Jindai Sakura to plant myself. That'd be a nice souvenir. I've been to Chureito Pagoda for the first time in autumn 2023, after seeing it everywhere on promotional material etc. Surely a stunning view. The topics you've planned look interesting, too :)
I love Sakura! This is your first video I've seen and it was very interesting and pretty!! I'll subscribe as these are really easy to watch when I just want to wind down
I live in a city in Kenya and we had a tree that was sent to space. It is guarded in a central park. It is so tall. Its flowers are 7 but normal ones have 6!
When I saw this my first thought was that the parent tree's flower was probably pollinated by a different variety of cherry resulting in a seed that would not look like it's parent. This is extremely common, that's why nurseries more often propagate perennials by cutting instead of seed when they want to produce the same variety.
Great video, also DAM that one shot driving down the street with mount fuji in the background... chefs kiss! I had to go back and watch it several more times. Also really excited to see your other topic video, especially the drifting one!
Oh wow I just clicked this because it showed up on my list. Didn’t realize video was 5 minutes ago. Also congrats on going back to Japan haven’t really say anything abt that. Wasnt new here just lurking. Great video, keep it up!!
Could the lack of gravity, amongst different air pressure in the spacestation over a period of time slightly alter how the seeds developed on a microscopic scale?
I bet this tree got a lot of attention when growing, ensuring nutrients were optimal and plenty of water so would grow quicker than another cherry blossom without the same attention. The cross pollination explains the petals unless it’s only a few of the petals and not every single flower when the attention paid to the tree would highlight this more than other cherry blossoms.
How does pollination affect blossoms? They exist to produce fruit and express the genetics from the seed, no? The cross pollination would affect the fruit.
i am planning to come back later this year for the fall foilage, will be great to hear about your reco on any hidden tracks we should check out around that time? (thinking of toyama or aomori but open to hear a few more spots)
So I'm by no means an expert on this, but at 4:09 you say that Jindai sakura translates to "giant sakura", which is indeed the translation of the characters you displayed at 1:04 (甚大). However, all of the signs that were seen in the video, including the ones by the space tree and the one displayed right after at 4:11, actually say 神代, which is also read as Jindai but actually translates to something like "as old as the gods". This seems like a fitting name for the oldest sakura tree around :)
Wow, that is such a beautiful tree! I wish I could squeeze this into my travel plan. I going to be in Tokyo for cherry season this year, but I am not sure I picked the right dates. How much time do sakura last usually after reaching full bloom?
Yay! More Hannah! The space cherry tree story is so awesome! I have never heard that before! Mysterious! And I loved that photo of you and Chris! Stellar photography! You both look so happy and beautiful!
deep dives nobody asked for, but we're all better off for it! oh and, i didn't actually tell you this, but i also went to sakura wanitsuka probably about 2 weeks after you, and i could barely even recognise it amongst the landscape because it was all green 😂. much sad. next year!
There is place in india in Agra. A dmsll temple. Where you put whole coconut on a cement plateform . Which cracks itself,without any touch. Need to kniw reason .
If this interests you, you should look into the "Atoms for Peace" program, specifically the "Atoms for Agriculture" program where the United States purposefully exposed agricultural plants to radiation samples in an attempt to produce helpful and safe mutations into the plant. And, it actually did produce some verifiable progress. Most of the plants that were irradiated, their seeds would grow faster and/or bloom faster than normal - something akin to what we see with the "Space Sakura" trees here. And, by the way, this was all very safe and the actual successive yields were not irradiated - they were merely mutated. They were safe to eat or use. They weren't actually contaminated by heavy metal/radiological particles. They were merely irradiated. Same way with how you getting an x-ray doesn't mean you're radioactive.
I'd like a better idea of the homeless problem in Japan. I saw a video om how Japan tries to help get people back on their feet with a multi-stage program, but talking to people on Twitter, they felt left behind. It also got addressed in Aggretsuko, so it's a big enough difficulty that it's getting commented on. Please consider asking questions and seeing what the reality is for Japan currently. Thank you.
Bruhh August 8th , 2023. I discovered hannnah and her channel immm soo late . I hope she can host another trip to Japan i wanna go man with everything I got in me .!!!

Me too I like the space sakura theory XD
There's a beach in Toyama where Jade washes up on the beach after earthquakes. I'd love to see a video about that.
Omg that sounds so strange and interesting! Definitely gonna do some investigating!
This would be awesome!
I would definitely watch that. Living vicariously through content creators on RUclips is one of my favorite things to do lol
Sounds like a treasure hunt

I love that the oldest tree is being taken care of the way we take care of our old loved ones.
I went to Japan this year for the first time and it's actually the most awesome trip I've ever done in my life
Where did you go? I was supposed to go to Hokkaido in 2020, but it kept getting put off because of covid.
Where did you go?

Wha- wow
I think being in space means nothing probably they where dying there. they were probably genetically modified to make news bigger
Offspring usually are mutations of their parents...
That's part of how evolution works.
@@Robin93kbut this is clones we're talking about. Not a normal interaction between two genetically different organisms

In high school I knew a girl who’s family cultivated giant leaf clovers.
I wonder if the pollen from this tree is altered? Won’t it effect other trees and the seeds created from the regular blossoms pollinated by the space tree pollen?
or they might have mix the seeds
@@nashd1821but mixed it with what species of cherry blossom 🌸, which would have sis petals?
See when Mount Fuji is visible, it completely transforms the scenery. 08.16, that drive in the night with Fuji, looks awesome!
Beautiful place
I think the best part was when the old man ate the strange cherry blossoms. Old folks just knows stuff. Now I feel like I need to eat them too!
They are edible! They kinda taste like floral less-sweet cherries :)
you can actually suck the nectar of most flowers, i reckeon thats what he was doing

There’s a cherry blossom season in Washington, DC. They do only bloom for a couple weeks
In reverse: there have been seeds found in archaeological sites in Japan that differ from known living cousins by its petals, leaves, etc.
That sounds pretty normal/expected
@@Good_Hot_Chocolate ummm, how so?
@@chrissonnenschein6634 evolution.
@@Good_Hot_Chocolate I did not word it write. not evolution. completely unrelated to known forms.

Hannah and mochi, name a more iconic duo haha. This was a fantastic video! Love a deep dive, this was just an especially beautiful one
The hospice my grandma died in was named Sakura, such a beautiful name and tree
Thank you for the story that even I, a Japanese, did not know!
I live in a city in Kenya and we had a tree that was sent to space. It is guarded in a central park. It is so tall. Its flowers are 7 but normal ones have 6!
Now I want to see what would happen if different seeds from trees or plants would do!
Fantastic video. I have always loved the idea of seeing the cherry blossoms in Japan. Now I want to go more than ever. 😀

This is extremely common, that's why nurseries more often propagate perennials by cutting instead of seed when they want to produce the same variety.
Also… maybe I’m just used to cherry trees that have to deal with Canadian winters but does that not look a LOT older than a 15 year old tree?
In warm climates, trees grow MUCH faster. It also depends on the type of tree.
Just found your channel through the Instagram post for this video. Your videos are all so wonderful, I’m so happy I found you ❤
Great vlog wonderful Hannah!!! The cherry blossoms are beautiful!!! 🌸
i absolutely dispise yt-shorts, but i stumbled upon the teaser for this video rn.. well done !!!

That Old Man Who Ate Cherry Blossom Leaves Knows Stuffs.
Kinda wholesome for me
It's like bringing a young kid to space when they were just a baby..
The media don't want to talk about this much, but the offsprings of astronauts after coming back from space all have 6 fingers.
Throw some seeds in moon a d mars also.. with rover or orbiter it can be done.
Thank you I didn’t know about space Sakura! Beautiful video too. ありがとうございました！

Be... A... Utiful Hannah!
For next topic, I would love to see Densha Otoko videos 👍👍👍
Im in yamanashi as well, in kofu. I want to check that out!
That was gorgeous Hannah 🙏🌸❤️❤️
I watch right away when I saw the upload 😂
What about the methuzala? Isnt that the oldest tree in the world?Even tho I think they accidentally chopped it down
桜とても綺麗😀
Just really lovely 🙏🥰🌸🌝
If only there was a way this experiment to be repeated by the at-home botanist. I find this Fascinating
A video on train fans would be amazing! Especially if it has Doctor Yellow
Oh it will most definitely have Doctor Yellow in it 🥰
What did the other trees grow like from the seeds that were brought back from space? Such a beautiful old tree! If only it could talk.
Rose petals and Sakura blossoms are edible 🥰🥰
For anyone wanna have a quick answer the Sakura tree sprouted 6 years faster and it has 6 petals commonly Sakura petals only has 5
Do the cherries on that tree taste different?
Always loved your work Hannah, God Bless ❤🙏
What a glorious place ❤️❤️
What is thet bring rice seeds or corn sèeds. See the bionic corn annd super rice grow in japaan
Beautiful scenes and views!
