Unique Sakura Indonesia
Then, why Sakura is in Cibodas Botanical Garden can bloom twice a year? According to Dwi, Cibodas Botanical Garden has the same height with the original habitat of Sakura.

“Also in Japan, right, there are 4 seasons, while here only two seasons. After the rainy season, summer switch. Well, Sakura will look better in summer. Contours of land, how to care, and climate causes flowering Cibodas 2 times. ”

Cycle through which Sakura is diawalai with the growing leaves around branches of the tree first. When the rainy season, the leaves will turn yellow and fall. When summer comes, then will grow flowers.

“From bud to blossom, the flowers will last for a week. Unfortunately, the weather conditions are difficult to predict, sometimes accompanied by hot winds and rain, Sakura flowers will easily fall out. But then the leaves will grow again.”

In Japan, Sakura propagation can only be done through cuttings and seeds. The botanical garden Cibodas, protracted Dwi, Sakura can be reproduced by transplanted. Even if Sakura wants to plant in a location that tends temperature heat, such as Jakarta, Sakura will only grow leaves, but will not bloom.

Sakura will only bloom and grow well if planted at high altitudes and low temperatures (cold). “The Japanese who come here claiming wondered why it could Sakura bloom twice. Finally, they become challenged to grow Sakura here, and given the initials of their names,” said Dwi.

Not Growing Simultaneously

In 2002, Ir. Holif Immamudin who was then serving as head of Cibodas Botanical Garden, began to see the uniqueness of Sakura. He finally asked Sakura to be reproduced by distek, transplanted, seeds and seedlings.

“Propagation through cuttings results for some time. Cankok way proved most successful, while the seeds are not very good results and quite slow,” said Holif which took a visit to Japan to learn more about Sakura.

Finally, the number of Sakura in Cibodas Botanical Garden 300 increased until it reaches the tree. However, continued Holif, there are some weaknesses of Sakura planted here, which is not growing in unison. However, on the other hand it is precisely this which was the excess.

In Japan, according to Holif, when Sakura flowers had fallen out, had to wait another year to go back to enjoy the beauty of flowers. While in Cibodas Botanical Garden, Sakura growth that does not simultaneously make Sakura flowers are blooming in turn, although only a little flower grow. In Japan, Sakura saun will fall in March-April, to then be replaced with the emergence of a blooming flower.

Another disadvantage, autumn leaves, there is absolutely no Sakura, but Sakura flowers will easily fall, especially if exposed to rain and big wind. However, Holif very grateful, because it did not have to masyakarat so far traveled to Japan and the expensive cost to enjoy the beautiful flowers Sakura. “Enjoy it keindannya of Cibodas,” he said.
