Revitalization project of cherry blossoms at parks and gardens in TOKYO
At the Tokyo Metropolitan Park Association, we have worked on maintenance renewal of cherry blossoms for four years from 2016.
The main themes are the healthy development of cherry blossoms and enlightenment.
The cherry blossoms in the parks in Tokyo are aged because it has been a long time since planting.
Because cherry blossoms like a sunny environment, the lack of sunlight reduces energy production and sometimes it withers.
If we leave cherry blossoms like this, it is also expected that you will not be able to see the cherry blossoms in the future.
For that purpose, it is required to prepare surrounding environments, such as finding cherry blossoms without cheerfulness and protecting it, such as doing appropriate reducing plant density.
Until now, the Tokyo Metropolitan Park Association has conducted tree diagnosis by the staff of tree doctors, searched for cherry blossoms that are not cheerful, examined measures and took it.
We will continue healthy development of cherry blossoms including plant new young tree, will produce the park highlight.
The newly planted cherry blossoms are still small, but they will soon make spectacular flowers bloom.
We ask for your watching over.

Cultivar cherry blossoms typified by "Arakawa 's five colors cherry blossoms" were very popular, but now they are not well-known. In this project, we will promote various charms of cherry blossoms both in Japan and overseas in order to convey the gardening culture that flowered during the Edo period to the future. It is attractive that “Somei-yoshino” blooms all at once, so planted throughout the country.
