其中三株樹苗被栽種在波托馬克河畔的一座公園內(nèi),該區(qū)域因春季盛開的數(shù)千株櫻花而聞名。
1912年,日本曾向華盛頓贈送約3000株櫻花樹,作為兩國友誼的象征(In 1912, Japan presented about 3,000 cherry trees to Washington as a symbol of friendship between the two countries)。

一名學生的母親說,她相信兒子將來有一天會帶著自己的孩子回到這里,告訴他們自己曾參與此次栽種活動(she believes her son will someday return with his own children and tell them he was there for the planting)。
