These wonderful spring days, made the popular cherry trees of BBG start to bloom earlier.
A real New York feeling. Many people from all over the world came to see these wonderful trees. So did we.
Which I didn't know, the BBG has more than 200 cherry trees of forty-two Asian species and cultivated varieties. This makes it one of the foremost cherry-viewing sites outside of Japan. What a unique brand!
And: The first cherries were planted at the BBG after World War I, a gift from the Japanese government to the city of New York!
