Cherry Esplanade

Nature
5
Cherry Esplanade was first planted with ornamental cherries in 1941 and each spring presents rows of Prunus 'Kanzan' in pink bloom, while in fall scarlet oaks, Quercus coccinea, along the outer paths display colorful leaves. More than 40 cultivars selected for their flowers make the collection one of the best places to view cherry blossoms outside Japan, and the spring blooms inspire Sakura Matsuri, the annual cherry blossom festival.
