Seoul Grand Park Selects King Cherry Tree as April's Plant
A Representative Spring Flowering Plant Blooming in April and Fruiting in June
Endemic to Korea, Its Natural Habitat in Jeju Island is Designated as a Natural Monument
[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] Seoul Grand Park has selected the King Cherry Tree as the plant of April and will release a video of this year's beautiful cherry blossoms on YouTube on the 13th.
The King Cherry Tree is a deciduous broadleaf tree of the Rosaceae family in the order Rosales, native to Korea. Although it is sometimes mistaken as a flower originating from Japan, the King Cherry Tree is an indigenous species of Korea, with natural monuments designated at its natural habitats in Bonggae-dong and Sinrye-ri, Jeju Island.
There are King Cherry Trees and Mountain Cherry Trees among cherry trees; if the flowers bloom before the leaves, it is a King Cherry Tree, and if the leaves and flowers emerge simultaneously, it is a Mountain Cherry Tree. The King Cherry Tree produces the most flowers among cherry trees, blooming in April and bearing fruit in June.
The lifespan of the King Cherry Tree is about 50 to 60 years. Although it is vulnerable to pollution and pests, it is popular as a landscape and street tree because it provides beautiful spring blossoms and cool shade in summer.
