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?

This made me smile, thanks!

If they only have blossoms but no fruit, how are they propagated?

They can't just not fruit, that's the point of the flowers. They must just have really small fruit, or somebody comes along and picks it before anybody sees.

That's what I'm thinking.

Both of the small cherry trees in my garden are ornamental - they seem to have miniature fruit, but it gets eaten - although watching a fat pigeon try to work out how to get to the fruit of a not-especially-sturdy weeping cherry can be amusing - like watching a sumo on a tightrope.

Who needs TV when you have PIGEON GLADIATORS in your own garden?
