Cherry flowers and Japanese temple architecture blend ideally 
zoological gardens and such places with a comparatively 
large area it is recommended to plant trees of differ- 
ent kinds, which bloom at different seasons, so that 
the public may have the chance to see different forms 
of flowers that bloom one after another in succession, 
according to their kinds. 
The ideal places for planting cherry trees are 
sunny and airy spots with soft soil having good drain- 
age. The trees do not thrive well in rocky soil or 
red loam. In Japan, the Kanto district, and especially 
the Musashi Plain, is better suited to the cultivation 
and growth of cherry trees than the Kansai district. 
This is because the soil of the Kanto district ideally 
meets the requirements of these trees.
