Did you know...

That Sakura, Japanese cherry blossom trees, is actually just a flowering Cherry. Meaning, the tree doesn't bare fruit! I've always thought that Sakura were actually cherry trees. I must admit, it is a bit disappointing... I had this romantic vision of Hanami, flower viewing in spring; then in summer, returning to that tree to collect the fruit; and in autumn, watching the leaves change. So I'm a little sad to find out that they don't bare fruit. They're still beautiful though!
