Chishima cherry blossoms with a slight scent of spring

Thursday, May 11, 2023

Chishimazakura cherry trees bloom low in the gardens of local residents.

The Chishimazakura cherry tree, which is believed to have come from Kunigo-jima Island, is a short cherry tree that branches out from the base and grows horizontally.

With heartfelt thanks for the wonderful moment when the "Chishimazakura," with its lovely blooms and small, almost white, pale red petals, was sweetly fragrant and seemed to be absorbed into the blue sky.
