Personal Musings
This plant is in memory of our trip to Japan earlier in the year. We saw a lot of cherry blossoms in the northern part of the main island in April and I was inspired to see if I could replicate this in Blackheath. Blackheath gets cold enough to support this, but it remains to be seen how the tree will fair in the longer term.
