Wild species of the cherry tree is widely distributed mainly in the Northern hemisphere.In the mainstream classification in Europe and North America, cherry trees for ornamental purposes are classified into the genus Prunus which consists of about 400 species.
Many wild species and cultivars bloom from March to April in the
Northern Hemisphere. Wild species, even if they are the same species,
are genetically different from one tree to another, so even if they
are planted in the same place, there is some variation in the time
when they reach full bloom.
