The double-flowered cherry trees of the Japanese flower fair farm will be in full bloom in the middle of spring with a large diameter of more than 5 cm. The flower is pale red and the inside of the petals is white. Therefore the flower will appear to be slightly white when it is in its first bloom and look like a clear white flower when it is in full bloom. One or two leaflike pistils protrude from the center of the flower so its name is Hisakura. In addition it has cherry flowers with leafy pistils and calyx that is not serrated. It is a deciduous tree its tree shape is a wide oval and does not grow on both sides but it can grow to a certain height. Because of this characteristic it has become the first choice of garden plant. In addition there is a feature that the cracks on the bark are vertical. The leaves are oval-shaped like ordinary cherry blossoms with serrated edges. The leaves turn red and fall in autumn. Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden is famous because of Hisakura and is considered to be the representative cherry blossom varieties in the garden.

Water:
Water hisakura Sakura based on its growth stage, local weather, and soil condition. Water once before budding, then monthly until fall. Ensure thorough watering until drainage stops. After watering, loosen soil and remove weeds. Cease watering in autumn and winter to prevent frost damage.
Fertilize:
Hisakura Sakura requires fertilization for healthy growth and fruit production, ideally with organic fertilizer. Apply it twice a year: before blooming to support flowers and again during fruit enlargement to enhance yield. Create a circular trench 38 cm (15 inches) deep and 28 cm (11 inches) wide for even application.
Pruning:
Hisakura Sakura thrives with early spring pruning to remove dead or crossed branches, enhancing air circulation and light penetration. Post-bloom pruning maintains its appeal. Use sharp tools for clean cuts to reduce disease risk, promoting healthier growth.
Propagation:
Hisakura Sakura can be propagated by grafting in mid-spring or using buds in summer. Make a T-shaped cut in the stock, insert the branch or bud ensuring phloem contact, then wrap with plastic. After 10-20 days, remove the wrap once healed.
