Summer of Whooping Cherry

crape myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica)

This summer, the weather has been a surprise and a surprise with sudden thunderstorms and heavy rain.

I am Yokoi, an Adan staff member.

Every year, around the time of the rainy season, the buds of the whooping crimson begin to form on the drooping branches and bloom at about the same time as the rainy season ends.

Even with this year's weather, the large clusters of whooping crimson flowers hung down over the fence and competed with the cherry blossoms for beauty, just as in previous years.

Whooping crane = monkey slideDon't you think the name of the tree is interesting?

The name "Ape Tree" comes from the fact that the trunk is so smooth that monkeys can climb on it and slip on it.

As an extra detail, it is said that the trunks of these whooping crimson trees were polished to a shine and used as floor posts for tea ceremonies and the like.

They have made it a chic structure that incorporates the elegant lifestyle of the Japanese people.
