About Prunus serrulata:

Prunus serrulata, commonly known as the Japanese cherry or sakura, is a deciduous tree native to Japan, Korea, and China. Revered for centuries in East Asian culture, the cherry blossom symbolizes the transient nature of life — a central theme in Japanese philosophy known as mono no aware. The species typically blooms in spring, producing clusters of soft pink to white flowers that last only one to two weeks before falling. Widely cultivated as an ornamental tree, Prunus serrulata has been planted across temperate regions worldwide, from the famous Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C. to parks and gardens throughout Europe and North America.
