まだ桜が楽しめました 多摩森林科学園
2025年4月19日、高尾駅を降りて、八王子城址へ向かいました。途中、多摩森林科学園がありましたので、寄ってみました。ソメイヨシノなどは葉桜になっていましたが、まだまだこれから満開を迎える品種の桜もありました。ここには日本全国の主要な桜が1,800本植えられているとのことです。 I visited Tama Forest Science Garden on April 19,2025 where 1,800 cherry trees from all over Japan are planted. You can enjoy the various trees in bloom one after another even in late April. 【Bon appétit !】 The Cherry Tree Preservation Forest at Tama Forest Science Garden is one of the largest collections of famous cherry trees and their varieties, and it serves as a valuable genetic resource. There is a lot of confusion regarding traditional cherry trees varieties, which date back to the Edo period, due to issues such as some trees of the same variety having the different names and some trees of different varieties having the same name. As such, the Science Garden is working to establish methods for the accurate identification of these trees, involving morphological(形態学の)surveys, literature surveys, gene analysis, and so on. The Science Garden is also examining accurate management methods and moving ahead with research aimed at the conservation and future utilization of cherry trees.(https://www.ffpri.affrc.go.jp/tmk/en/visit/japanese-flowering-cherries.html)
