Japan gave 3,020 cherry blossom trees as a gift to the United States in 1912 to celebrate the nations' then-growing friendship, replacing an earlier gift of 2000 trees which had to be destroyed due to disease in 1910. These trees were planted in Sakura Park in Manhattan and line the shore of the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C. The first two original trees were planted by first lady Helen Taft and Viscountess Chinda on the bank of the Tidal Basin.

The gift was renewed with another 3,800 trees in 1965. The cherry blossom trees continue to be a popular tourist attraction (and the subject of the annual National Cherry Blossom Festival) when they reach full bloom in early spring. (wikipedia)

The most popular flowering trees in Palawan is the Balayong or the Palawan Cherry, which can be seen in parks and gardens and can also be spotted at the edge of forests. (http://www.demotix.com/)

The Palawan cherry is a small to medium-sized tree. It can grow up to a height of 15 meters or taller, and has a diameter of about 50 centimeters. (http://www.demotix.com/)

Palawan Cherry is not a close relative of the Japanese cherry blossom, but taxonomically, it is nearer in association with the tree legumes of the Acacia, Narra, Kamatchile, Ipil and Tindalo. (http://www.demotix.com/)

In Manila, Palawan cherries are planted within the Manila Seedling Bank Foundation in Quezon City. Some of these trees can be seen at the Malacanang Palace grounds facing the Pasig River. (http://www.demotix.com/)

When it flowers, its pink blossoms almost cover the entire tree, much like that of the Japanese cherry blossoms, but the true cherry blossom cannot survive in tropical countries like the Philippines. (http://www.demotix.com/)
