Description
This tree has spectacular blooms. It flowers a bit later than other flowering trees, but when it does bloom, it creates a beautiful cloud of white blossoms. The branches spread horizontally and create a Zen-like atmosphere to the garden. Clusters droop gracefully towards the ground.
The Mount Fuji Japanese Flowering Cherry tree is native to China, Japan and Korea. Ernest Wilson, who worked for the Arnold Arboretum at Boston, introduced it to the States. It was introduced in 1908. Its name and classification are credited to John Lindley of England. The name describes the serrated leaves.

Nature, animals, beauty have been a source of nourishment throughout my life. Photography allows me to capture, interpret, and share that world of wonder I see about me, and sometimes use what I capture as an inspiration to create something new, by incorporating other exposures, textures or brushwork.
I currently reside in Oregon, an environment rich in nature's graces. I have lived in California and New York, too, and everywhere there is a world of beauty around us, if we care to take the time and look for it.
