Cherry blossom is famous in Korea. Cherry blossoming begins in January in the southern part of the country. It reaches central Korea by the end of March or the beginning of April and arrives in the north a few weeks later. Its flowers are nearly pure white, tinged with the palest pink, especially near the stem. They bloom and usually fall within a week, before the leaves come out. Therefore, the trees look nearly white from top to bottom. Cherry Blossoms are indigenous to many Asian states including Japan, Korea, China. Japan has a wide variety of cherry blossoms (sakura); well over 200 cultivars can be found there.
