Hi @YasumiKikuchi ,

Very interesting series of meet-ups you want to make.

The cherry Blossoms are really beautiful. In Spain we have that tree too, but not the amount and beauty as you have in Japan :slight_smile:

I will stay tuned.

Good Evening from the South of Spain,

Alejandra.

Cherry (Prunus avium), Rosaceae (Girace) family is a naturally occurring fruit tree in Giresun, South Caucasus, Caspian Sea and Northeast Anatolia.

The earliest place to grow cherry is Anatolia. There are around 1500 cherry varieties in the world.

Cherries are grown all across Turkey; cherry is a agricultural activity that has developed rapidly as a basic source of livelihood especially in the provinces of Isparta, Afyon, Manisa, Bursa and İzmir in recent years.

Especially, “0900 semi-dwarf” agriculture type cherries grown in the districts of Uluborlu, Senirkent and Barla, Afyon province Sultandağı and Eskişehir Mihalıççık districts and exported all over the country are named as “Turkish Cherries” all over the world.
In Turkey, although it changes depending on the type, between May - July, it gives fruit.

Hey @YasumiKikuchi and @Safak1 ,

Thanks so much for sharing these posts! I personally love cherries in all forms. In desserts, juices, jams. Here in Bulgaria we also grow cherries. They bloom in April and are usually ready for picking in June. I’m looking forward for more cherry blossom photos!

See you around!

Hi, @Safak1

A good investigation on your cherry will be a great learning, thank you!

I hear that Turkey is the world’s largest cherry product and very tasty.

Japan and Turkey are friendly with the past incidents. In recent years,
it seems that 3000 cherry blossoms for ornamental were sent to Turkey.

Thank you for participating!

Hi @NadyaPN

Thanks for replying every time!

To tell the Japanese Bulgarian yogurt company, Bulgarians asked Cherry as a favorite.
In northeast Japan, the cherry of “Yamagata Higashi-ne district” is the most famous.
Of course it is delicious to eat with yoghurt!

Thank you for your reply!
As you feel, Japanese learn from the short cherry blossom life that there is a limit to the time of life.
