Description
As an endemic species in Jejudo Island and Daedunsan Mountain of Korea, Yoshino Cherries bloom in April before its leaves are out. Its flower is white or light-pink. At one time, these trees were cut down by the Korean people who regard the flower of this tree as the national flower of Japan. The natural habitat of Yoshino Cherries in Sillye-ri is located at the turn from Jeju to Seogwipo. The age and height of these trees are unknown and the trees in this habitat are not growing well because of a disease. The natural habitat of Yoshino Cherries is designated and conserved as a Natural Monument because of the tree’s high biological value as an endangered species.
