…What is generally called cherry blossoms are mainly deciduous trees of the genus Prunus and subgenus Prunus in the Rosaceae family, found mainly in the temperate and subtropical zones of the Northern Hemisphere. Many of them bloom simultaneously, making them beautiful and widely admired. In Japan, there are about 100 wild species, including about 10 natural species such as Yamazakura, Ooyamazakura, Kasumizakura, Oshimazakura, Mamezakura, Edohigan, Chojizakura, Miyamazakura, and Takanezakura, as well as varieties and cultivars. Many cherry species are sun-loving and grow quickly, forming secondary forests, making them suitable for planting at home. Many horticultural varieties have been cultivated from these wild species, and the number is said to be between 200 and 300. *Some of the terminology that refers to "Kasumizakura (Mist Cherry Blossom)" is listed below.
