Order Today From All The Types and Varieties of Different Japanese Cherry Blossom (Sakura) Trees!
In the Edo period of Japan, the last well-recorded “blossoming” of heterogeneity in the horticulture of hanami, so to speak, there were around 250 different types of cherry blossoms. Some “Sakura En” (quite literally just “cherry blossom gardens”) were cultivated and concentrated to preserve and parade the beauty of the species from different scions, at the apex of Japanese cultural complexity before the arrival of the outside world in earnest.
One high-ranking “daimyo” (big boss, often a moniker attributed to corporate heads in the C suite in Japan nowadays) actually proved that he had 234 different varieties of cherries, probably the recorded record for one garden. JCB has a ways to go, but we have about 25 for sale and 55 in our private collection steadily marching toward sellable scions…while about 190 recovered or located to pick out – and eventually publish and promote.
Sakura trees blooming seasonally along rivers like the Arakawa and Kamo (Tokyo and Kyoto) became (and have still been) a massive national sensation in Japan, turning out huge crowds for over a century, and since royal gardens around the world swapped varieties of cherries or crossed them, it became possible to see sakura-lined rivers in other nations steadily after the 1800’s finally too.
Can you grow sakura trees in America and abroad? Cherry blossoms can grow in most US states, and these sakura trees can thus be planted in most of the continental USA and Hawaii. Planting a sakura tree is like planting any other tree in your garden or yard, simply needing good soil, love, care, and water…and aside from making sure the roots or start of the branches are covered with topsoil well, the main consideration for cherry blossom blooming spots is to choose yours with aesthetic acumen: How and where to position it to use its color and grace to complement your space.
Cherry blossoms bloom on an internal clock built into their very DNA, and are hardy to withstand the winter until the spring triggers their flowering again. They stoically wait until sakura season comes back. To buy cherry blossom trees, simply choose your tree type online (standard a few feet tall and a few years old,) and JCB can typically ship to most states, thus right to your garden ready for your sakura space. There are not many physical stores in the USA where to buy cherry blossom trees. Certainly not more than a few varieties (usually the Kwanzan or the Yoshino only, which are not as luxurious or exquisite as all of the other types in the global library.)
