22 Different Types of Cherry Blossoms and Interesting Facts
Cherry blossoms are probably the most popular Japanese flowers and one of the most loved flowers in the whole world. Japan has over 200 cherry blossom varieties of which the most popular is the Somei Yoshino. It’s a single-flowering type with five pale pink petals that blooms in less than a week and make up 80 percent of the cherry blossom trees in the country.
Cherry blossoms have salted leaves and petals and the sweet scent called sakuramochi. Fugenzo and Kanzan varieties are pickled with salt and vinegar for the salted cherry blossom recipe. The leaves of the Oshima variety are also pickled in the same way to bring out its sweet aroma.
Types
Akebono Cherry (Prunus x yedoensis)
This wide-spreading tree has a rounded top and can get up to 50 feet tall at maturity. Its single, pale-pink petals fade to white as it ages, and it is hardy and vibrant to zone 6. It is becoming rarer and is being replaced with a variety whose pink blossoms never fade.
Autumn Cherry (Jugatsuzakura)
This tree blooms from October to January and again in the Spring, with small, sparse petals of light pink with a center that is a darker flush. It is also called the October Cherry, and it looks beautiful next to snow or in combination with other Fall colors.
Autumn Flowering Cherry (Prunus subhirtella var. autumnalis)
Growing up to 30 feet tall and 20 feet in width, this flower has semi-double, thick white petals that open sporadically during the Fall and Winter months and flower fully the following Spring. The tree is hardy to zone 4 and has upright, eye-catching stems.
Chrysanthemum Cherry (Kikuzakura)
This tree blooms from late-April to early May, and it is one of the last cherry blossom trees to bloom. With up to 100 petals per bloom, this tree is dense and has a full look, giving it an ambiance you won’t find in other trees. The white petals are flushed with soft-pink, and it really stands out regardless of what is planted around it.
