[CANUFNET] Essay on the UCFS Blog: "Japanese Ornamental Cherries: Colonialism, Diplomacy, Phenology, and FOMO"

[Michelle Sutton]

In a new essay by Washington Square Eco Projects Director Georgia Silvera Seamans, she asks

How did Japanese ornamental cherry trees become part of the canopy of New York City?

"In this blog post I follow ornamental cherries from the early 20th century gift of 300 trees to New York and the more famous gift to Washington DC. I then discuss cherry phenology, cherry trees in my favorite city park, Washington Square, and end with a shout out to the native black cherry." https://ucfsociety.org/japanese-ornamental-cherries-colonialism-diplomacy-phenology-and-fomo/
