Weeping willows are beautiful, and they're beautiful most of the year. Cherry blossoms are pretty plain when they aren't flowering, but I think they're gorgeous when they are. Living in Korea and visiting Japan in March/April is absolutely stunning.

They make people act stupid? Isn't that in itself evidence of their worth. Your opinion is unpopular, even with yourself.

tell me you never been to Japan without saying it. the party under the blossoms is a magnificent time to relax and enjoy a beer and talk with friends outside.

Pass. I'm planning my Japan trip to avoid it.... Only because it gives me really bad hay fever. But so do willow trees!

they literally do produce small cherries, they're just not edible. that's a miseducation, not a misnomer.

There are cherry trees that do produce fruit and they are very beautiful when they blossom. I grew up with 2 in my backyard. But people often plant the decorative variety that don't fruit because it's less messy.

It's not a misnomer and I don't think you understand the meaning of that word. They are cherry BLOSSOM trees. Not cherry trees. They have blossoms on them.

I'll grant that I'm a weeb and thusly have a bias. But they're actually really pretty bud.

Plot twist: OP can also be found leaving bad reviews of national and state parks. I.E. "El Capitan was pretty lame and contrived. It was just like a small mountain that looks like a big boulder. More like El Not That Great-o. One star."

My Korean mom used to take me to jeju every few years. I, myself, am not Korean, just adopted into a Korean family. I dont speak the language well, and my only real connection to the culture is that I'll dog any Korean meal you put in front of me. But going to jeju island during cherry blossom season is probably one of the most insane examples of beauty I could've ever seen. Haven't gone since the big 18, but I hope to take my future kids there one day

Oh absolutely, with it hanging so low it'll be easy to tear off a branch and use it to point to an actual beautiful tree :D

Are you a treedafile. You're barking up the wrong tree, I think.

The name isn't a misnomer, they're still cherry trees, and many actually do make fruit - but they're ornamental and the birds usually eat them before you notice them. Prunus is a big genus that has lots of fruiting trees and their ornamental versions too. Ever see those super common trees with purple leaves that are always in parking lots and apartment complexes? Prunus! Ornamental plum. Almonds, peaches, nectarines, apricots...all prunus! I seel trees for a living.

Being from the DMV and having been in DC quite a few times. I disagree, DC when the blossoms are in bloom are fantastic.

I live in Vermont so beautiful foliage is just a regular yearly occurrence, as are tourists overtaking the state to look at the pretty leaves. You could say I'm jaded about foliage but I definitely still appreciate it. Just on my commute to work I often get blown away with how beautiful this region is. Every depiction of cherry blossoms I've seen has looked incredible and I'm sure it would be absolutely breathtaking to see in person.
