They don't actually produce cherries, so far as I know, but they are edible. I know they make wine out of the flowers, as well as include them in some of the more upscale dishes.

Any pics of japanese trees/landscapes or whatever you think will be much apreciated.

Truely awesome shots, just adore flowering cherries don't see much of them up here, but my, those photos took me back a few years..My dad collects and grows dwarf Acers in his garden in the UK, love them too.

Here a few of my pets up here above the Brisbane line

Both are Albizia saman raintrees I've been lucky enough to climb all over these two babes and their rellys, there's 13 of them in the grounds of this private School. Been looking after them for 15yrs now so you could say we're on first name terms. You can't see it from my poor photos but they're 25 - 30m tall and range from 45 - 65m across, deadwooding for H&S can take a full day in the babes where the EWP can't go. Dreamy climbing though.
