They include both the seven wild species and the hundreds of forms and cultivars known for centuries as sato-zakura, or garden cherries. This account covers their history and cultural significance, clears up long-standing confusions in taxonomy and nomenclature, and presents them in all their magnificence.

This review is from: Japanese Flowering Cherries (Hardcover)
"Japanese Flowering Cherries" is a fabulous book. Wybe Kuitert has done an excellent job of producing a book with a vast amount of information. The book is very informative about the wide variety of wild and garden varieties. It also discusses the history and appreciation of cherry trees. It also contains some very excellent photography, as well as art work relating to Japan's homage to the cherry tree. Overall, this book is an excellent resource if you want to start your own cherry tree garden, or you just want to become more knowledgeable about this beautiful tree.
