JCB’s cherry blossom library spans the lineage, history, and varieties of sakura From the Taihaku Great White Cherry of today’s social media fame to the green-ish tinted new lines in British and Hokkaido gardens…From hanami picnics to 8-day family festivals under boulevards of trees, the cherry blossom has become an icon and symbol of Japan. Within Japan now, the “sakura” is seen as a symbol of life and ephemeral death, a memento mori, with the yamazakura line planted by the samurai pre-battles, and kamikaze pilots using the flower to metaphor-pack and prepare for death as a beautiful flash.

At the peak of the Tokugawa shogunate, there was a collective library of 250 varieties of the cherry blossom in Japan. Japan’s disappearance of diversity in the cherry blossom sadly started with the onset of Japanese militarism, running up to the 1930’s where the tree’s symbolism shifted to become a symbol of death. As the nation became more rigid and regimented, conformity creep led to cloning and a focus on fitting to uniformity, near driving hundreds of unique and beautiful lines extinct. Foreign experts like Ingram managed to hold onto heterogeneity over homogeneity, and locally, hidden away in private gardens and houses with the elderly, Kyoto became the place of experts in Japan and the home of most remaining unique lines.

No longer content with the simple gaudy Kanzan, the catalog of cherry blossoms and our collective library has grown to become the world’s largest shop of lines and varieties of the sakura. Sargent crosses to Cherry Accolade trees, Fuji and Ichiyo lines from the famous Arikawa river….Corsair and Okame stately plants to Kikushidare “weeping” sakuras….Shirotai sakura for country homes…..to Royal Windsor “Uminekos“….to Sai and Shiga lines famously painted in Iwaki with gunpowder…

As the rarer varieties have poorer constitutions, certain lines of the trees will require careful planning, planting, and shipping in order to install in your garden, and custom logistics. We offer many ready-to-ship lines and varitieties of cherry blossoms, and help and assist to install the rarer or more delicate lines. Browse and order from our cherry blossom tree library HERE.

125 years of history, from the end of Edo and the beginning of World War II to Starbucks and Sakura Seasonals and the Yoshino scions of Golden Gate Park.

JCB’s team has been growing, planting, collecting, curating, eating, cataloging, fermenting and extracting cherry blossoms in Japan since before the turn of the last century.

Started in Kyoto, Okayama, and Shikoku as a tree library and dried petals and extract for rice, liquors, and food…then turned-historical society, today the heirs and great-grandkids of the gardeners still keep the picturebooks of the trees and a showcase of heirloom trees and scions in Kyoto’s suburb.

Our ally chemists, brewers, and copackers from large and small-cap Japanese F&B industry have today come to flavor the most famous global brands with our signature sakura scent and flavor, and the flavor continues to become more popular over time in the west and Asia outside Japan.
