Aberdare Spring Symphony in Pink

March 6, 2008

Aberdare Japanese Flowering Cherry TreesThe grand spring symphony in pink and white blossom brightens up Aberdare Park.

On Cemetery Road, Trecynon, the Japanese Cherry (Prunus serrulata) trees begin to open into blossom.

There are Japanese Cherry Trees at the north entrance of Aberdare Park, in Park Lane Trecynon, as well as many trees along Cemetery Road, two near Broniestyn Terrace, Trecynon and some in Aberdare Town itself.

The blossoming of these various trees will occur over several weeks, and each tree will only blossom for a few brief days. As we noted previously, the Japanese go to parks, shrines and temples and hold flower viewing parties known as hanami. Hanami festivals celebrate the beauty of sakura, and for many, it is a chance to relax and enjoy the beautiful view.

Keep your eyes open and enjoy the spring symphony in Aberdare …
