The kind the students planted this
time is "Kawazu" cherry tree. This cherry
tree reportedly blooms around the beginning of
February, whereas usual cherry trees bloom around the
late March. Moreover, we can enjoy cherry blossoms
throughout a month, and appreciate the feeling the
coming of spring earlier.
