This is perhaps the strongest Flowering cherry we've featured in our ten years of posting. Its muscular trunk, aged bark and profusion of lovely flowers make for an impressive showing

Good Flowering cherry bonsai seem to be few and far between. In our ten years of posting (about 3.500 posts), we’ve only featured three flowering cherries and I’m not sure about one (here’s one,  here’s another  and here’s the one I’m not sure about). We found this one on Michael Bonsai fb timeline, a steady source for quality bonsai photos

Close up of the trunk from the opposite side. That appears to be a piece of bark sticking out on the right. The white looks like a lichen of some sort

The other side. It sure does look like a piece of bark. It seems a little strange that is was left on the tree, but I suppose it tells a story. The fingers give a sense of scale

Cherry blossoms!
