One of the first trees to bloom here in northern Germany is the Japanese cherry tree! Its beautiful, lush, soft pink flowers are a definite sign of the arrival of spring!
These non-fruit producing trees can be spotted from afar (especially and are very symbolic in Japanese culture, and are thus celebrated in many different countries, even here in Germany! Hamburg, for example, has a big firework display put on by the German-Japanese society near the Alster, a lake-like body of water downtown, very beautiful and festive!
We even have a cherry tree for our own enjoyment right outside of our work building - here are few pics (taken from my phone) - Happy Spring!!!
