Cherry Tree



清春芸術村の桜は、1925年(大正14年)の3月、旧清春小学校の落成を記念し、生徒たちの手によって植樹されたものです。品種はオオシマザクラとエドヒガンの雑種、染井吉野で、比較的樹齢が短いといわれていますが、清春芸術村の桜は樹齢90年余りを経た現在も、毎年春には見事な花を咲かせます。1970年( 昭和41年)、山梨県指定天然記念物にも指定されました。


The Cherry trees of the kiyoharu Art Colony were planted in March 1925 by the schoolchildren as the memorial of the completion of the Kiyoharu elementary school. The type of Sakura’s are a cross of Oshima and Edo Cherry (which blooms early) and Yoshino Cherry. It has been said that comparatively the lifespan of these kind of Cherry trees are rather short. But at Kiyoharu Art Colony they still show there breath-taking flowers and elegant silhouette every spring. Even after 90 years. In 1970 they were designated as a national natural treasure of Yamanashi.
