The Miharu Takizakura (三春滝桜, lit. waterfall cherry tree of Miharu) is an ancient cherry tree in Miharu, Fukushima, in northern Japan. It is a weeping higan cherry (Prunus subhirtella var. pendula ‘Itosakura’. syn. Prunus spachiana ‘Pendula Rosea’.[1] Benishidare-zakura in Japanese) and is over 1,000 years old.
It flowers in mid to late April, and its light pink flowers spread in all directions from the branches, like a waterfall.
