Cherry Blossom

A cherry blossom is the flower of any of several trees of genus Prunus, particularly the Japanese Cherry, Prunus serrulata, which is sometimes called sakura after the Japanese (桜 or 櫻; さくら). Many of the varieties that have been cultivated for ornamental use do not produce fruit. Edible cherries generally come from cultivars of the related species Prunus avium and Prunus cerasus.

Famous quotes containing the words cherry and/or blossom:

    I think it was your cherry pies.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    Poetry and music I have banished,
    But the stupidity
    Of root, shoot, blossom or clay
    Makes no demand.
    I bend my body to the spade
    Or grope with a dirty hand.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
