- The most well-known species is the Japanese cherry, Prunus serrulata, which is commonly called SAKURA (桜 or 櫻; さくら).
- They are widely distributed, especially in the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere including Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Mainland China, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Myanmar, Thailand, and West Siberia.
- Along with the chrysanthemum,[citation needed] the cherry blossom is considered the national flower of Japan.
- All varieties of cherry blossom trees produce small, unpalatable fruit or edible cherries.
- Edible cherries generally come from cultivars of the related species Prunus avium and Prunus cerasus.
- This Bonsai Cherry Blossom Tree is a mini-sized flowering spectacle.
- Grown in a moss ball for easy maintenance and a delightful centerpiece for your home and office.
