Do you REALLY know what the Cherry Blossoms are in Japan? Here are 10 undeniable (and helpful) facts to understanding and seeing the amazing cherry blossoms in Japan.
Thanks for the question. I asked a friend of mine who plants Sakura in Houston's Japanese garden. According to him, cherry blossom trees require rich, fertile soil that is acidic, rather than alkaline. They need to be spaced 20 feet away from each other or other structures or plants. To dig a hole that's roughly two feet around by one foot deep is best, and dig some compost in the hole before planting. Plant them in the late fall or early spring (when the ground is soft and has a higher moisture content). I hope this helps, devonferris!
@@devonferris The pH scale is measured from 0 to 14, with the sweet spot being right in the middle, or pH 7. This neutral point means your soil is in ideal balance, thriving, and growing well. Anything above 7 (from 8-14) is considered alkaline, while anything below neutral (from 6-0) is considered acidic. The back of the bag of soil should provide the ideal number in order to make an informed purchase. :)
Martin, from what I understand, many cherry blossom trees begin in large pot but must be transferred once gaining roots. They called them "Potted Cherry Blossoms." One expert recommended that you should replace the soil (and use a new, larger pot) every 2-3 years.
The cherry blossom (桜, sakura) is Japan's unofficial national flower. It has been celebrated for many centuries and holds a prominent position in Japanese culture. There are dozens of cherry tree varieties in Japan, most of which bloom for just a few days in spring.
Actually, you'd be surprised how often people tell me that while I'm walking them through Japan. During the end of March, beginning of April, I will bring a group to Japan and they will say - "I can't wait to see the Cherry Blossoms. Do you get in trouble if you pick the cherries off of the tree and eat them?"
I don't know if that's true or not. But if it is, that's awesome to me. Slowly over time, it became national flower of Japan. I wish more beauty would transfer from country to country.
This is not true. this issue is already decided by life science area professor. and the professor said korea's species called jeju flowering cherry and japan's species called someiyoshino are entirely defferent species in genetically. (My English is not good enough to explain how they are different. I'll just summarize result about analysis of species.) *someiyoshino = ♂Prunus speciosa(called osimazakura, this species are native species of japan and don't live in korea.) + ♀Prunus pendula - prunus pendula are live in both korea and japan each other in own ways but i dont know this species come from which country's species.. *JFC = ♂Prunus sargentii + ♀Prunus pendula (both are korea's native species) rather korea's streets are filled out of someiyoshino species than korea's native species JFC. JFC are limited to a specific region such as jeju, junlado.
Magical beauty.Must have one of those for my garden

Can we plant cherry blossoms (Sakura) anywhere? Or is there certain weather conditions and soil for it to blossom and bloom?
Thanks for the question. I asked a friend of mine who plants Sakura in Houston's Japanese garden.

@@carlrosa1130 This HELPS a ton. Thank you. How do I know if the soil is acidic or akaline?

We have tons in DC and most botanical gardens, street, backyard etc in Virginia and surrounding states. So I guess you can plant them anywhere.
Great informative video! I have a Question? Can I keep a cherry blossom in a pot ? Thank you

I actually thought that cherry trees produce cherries... silly me :)

But what do they look like in the summer?
What does 'what' look like in summer?
It looks like any typical tree with green leaves
Good grief, this video should actually have started at 2:38. Really REALLY LAME intro crap prior to that.
Well, thanks for the comment...and now you know to avoid all of my videos at all costs.
Wow, what a jack ass. Are you on your monthly cycle, Brynn?
Brynn needs to hug a cherry blossom tree .
Fact 11: Cherry blossoms aren't native to Japan. They actually came from Korea lol.
I don't know if that's true or not. But if it is, that's awesome to me. Slowly over time, it became national flower of Japan. I wish more beauty would transfer from country to country.

*someiyoshino = ♂Prunus speciosa(called osimazakura, this species are native species of japan and don't live in korea.) + ♀Prunus pendula
- prunus pendula are live in both korea and japan each other in own ways but i dont know this species come from which country's species..
*JFC = ♂Prunus sargentii + ♀Prunus pendula (both are korea's native species)
rather korea's streets are filled out of someiyoshino species than korea's native species JFC. JFC are limited to a specific region such as jeju, junlado.
