"Greenwich Park has just introduced a new 'valley of blossom', planting 130 prunus 'sekiyama' cherry trees sourced straight from Japan. These new trees will tower above the park's existing cherry trees, growing to 12 metres high and 8m in spread."
"The new plantings are courtesy of the Sakura Cherry Tree Project, which has donated thousands of the Japanese blossoms to sites across the UK since 2019 to symbolise the friendship between the two countries."
Greenwich Park has planted 130 prunus 'sekiyama' cherry trees to create a new 'valley of blossom'. This addition complements the existing Cherry Tree Avenue established in the 1950s. The new trees will grow significantly taller than the current prunus 'pink perfection' trees. The saplings are currently young and will take time to establish in the park's soil. The initiative is part of the Sakura Cherry Tree Project, promoting friendship between Japan and the UK through the donation of cherry trees.
