This IS the gift that keeps on giving.
The David and Dorothy Lam Foundation along with the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival are offering up for sale 3,000 cherry blossom trees, to go with the 37,000 already beautifying Vancouver streets.
VCBF are offering a choice of 3 flowering cherry trees:
Prunus sato zakura group – ‘kanzan’
Prunus pendula ‘yae-beni-shidare’ aka weeping higan
And my favourite:
Prunus x yedoensis – ‘akebono’
One day I hope to have a big enough backyard to plant a cherry blossom tree.
