To those who know about Japan

[karohemd]

When you read about Japan, they say you should go during cherry blossom season because it's so beautiful and from what I've seen on TV and photos, it indeed is.

However, I wouldn't associate Japan with the actual fruit. Are cherry trees simply decorative?

Many types of cherry are indeed ornamental as opposed to edible. But edible ones are nicer.

*nods* There's a (wild) cherry tree in front of our house but even when ripe, they are nasty (when I tried one a few years ago). I just wait until they are overripe and then watch the birds gorge themselves and crash about in a drunken fashion. ;o)

You can still make cherry brandy with wild ones though :)
