How do i grow a cherry blossom tree in india where it is available? Is indian weather suitable for it? Cost?
You have a problem growing temporal climate trees in the tropics-I know because I have tried it. One of the problems is the monsoon when the humidity and temperature go through the roof. Another is the tropical bugs and pests which you don't at first think of if you are from outside India. Most plants to survive in India have developed chemical defences to help ward off caterpillars and mealie bugs and things-in contrast a nice succulent cherry tree with sweet sap would be a god-send. The bugs would be coming from miles away to feast on it. I know I have great difficulty with my hibiscus trees there-mealie bugs are constantly eating them and butterflies laying eggs. Because it is the tropics the caterpillars grow very fast-it seems only a couple of days since I saw the butterfly hovering over them before there are striped caterpillars over an inch long. In practice it is nearly impossible to grow a european tree in this climate. I have tried with ash, sycamore oak and holly-the seeds germinate and then die. On the other hand I have brought some fertile cashew seeds back to England with me and have successfully planted them and they are growing into good plants-I have to bring them inside in the winter though or the cold would kill them. They have evolved to live in the tropics with leathery leaves that can withstand both drought and heavy rain and being poisonous the insects leave them alone. Not so cherry trees, they would not stand a chance. Further up the hills where the climate is cooler they will grow though the insects would still have a good feast.
Cherry Blossom tree (Sakura) and underground pipes?
It doesn't matter where you plant the tree, it can still penetrate the water pipes. I have no clue how they can get their roots into those pipes but they do it. You might call miss dig in your city and have them come mark where the pipes system is at and then plant the tree as far from those pipes as possible. Also, a tree's roots system is always as wide as the branches are plus sometimes a few inches one way or the other so find out just how wide a span the full grown tree will have in its branches from one side to the other and then cut that in half and add a foot for possible variation and then you can be pretty sure that you can plant the tree at least half way over from that point plus a foot more or so for safety sake. Also, be sure that you check where the electrical wires are that go near your property. If a tree is anywhere near those they will come and cut out the part of the tree that could damage the wires in a storm. When we moved here there was one planted at the back of our home where the lines were but it was small. We never moved it and then it grew over time and then two years ago they came and whacked one side off. The next storm broke the other side since the tree was unbalanced. We had to fight the city for a new tree so they said they would give us one IF we would let them cut the rest of that one down and put the tree in a place where it could not touch the lines at full growth. Make sure you do the same measurements for your tree with the wires too.

How are cherry trees different from cherry blossom trees?
Most flowering cherries are “sterile”, meaning the flowers lack all the components needed for reproduction. The puffy “double” flowers are natural mutations (and sometimes not) where a flower’s reproductive parts are replaced by extra petals. (This applies to most flowers.)
Is it illegal to grow a Cherry Blossom Tree in California?
No, they're not illegal, and they're not invasive. In fact, depending on what part of California you're in, you might not see them because, far from being invasive, they just don't do well there and don't thrive. Mostly, the trick about planting trees in California is that you need to order from a grower or retailer WITHIN California. There are LOTS of restrictions about bringing plant material in from out of state. But most often, that has to do with insect and disease issues. Just look around at your local garden centers and nurseries. Generally, they will sell trees that do well in your area. If you find that none of them carry any cherries, it could be your climate is just too mild. Cherries need a certain amount of winter chilling in order to live and thrive.
Can cherry blossom trees be grown in Hong Kong?
Thanks for the A2A.Yes, the climate here is suitable for growing cherry blossom trees and places like parks and universities have cherry blossom trees grown.In fact I’ve just checked and discovered that there is a small cherry blossom tree next to my place in a park.Though it isn’t common to see these trees. Since they are not endemic to HK I believe they are introduced from Japan.For endemic species, usually we have cotton trees, banyans, pines and cedars etc. There are lots of other types being planted everywhere, but well since my knowledge of trees is almost non-existent I can’t really tell.So in short, yes and we’ve already planted some in HK, but good luck finding them :)
