Sweet cherry tree is a symbol of peace and friendship, as well as one of the most important symbols of Japanese culture, which is why almost half of all trees in Japan are sweet cherry trees. And while in Europe this tree is favoured for its fruits, in Japan it is primarily appreciated for its flowers. Consequently, there are more than 200 varieties of cherry trees in Japan which bear no fruit and are only grown for their flowers’ beauty and splendour.
