Cherry blossom trees, known scientifically as Prunus serrulata, are famous for their beautiful pink and white flowers that bloom in spring. These trees are native to East Asia, particularly Japan, where they hold cultural significance and are celebrated during the annual Hanami festival. The blossoms typically last for about one to two weeks, attracting many visitors to parks and gardens. In addition to their aesthetic appeal, cherry blossom trees are also valued for their wood, which is used in furniture and crafts. They thrive in well-drained soil and prefer full sunlight, making them popular choices for landscaping in temperate regions around the world.
