Spring Flowers

Cherry blossoms are richly symbolic, and have been utilized often in Japanese art, manga, anime, and film, as well as at musical performances for ambient effect. The flower is also represented on all manner of consumer goods in Japan, including kimono, stationery, and dishware.

Here's a Grow Kit in the classic Parks Collection interpretive packaging that can bring the beauty of two different cherry blossom trees to your own yard or garden, and, each spring, you'll be greeted by a riot of white-to-pink flowers in celebration of your home's very own Cherry Blossom Festival!

Everything needed to grow the world's tallest tree from seed! Commonly reaching breathtaking heights, the magnificent, column-like Coast redwood is not only the world’s tallest tree, but also one of the world’s most long-lived, with life-spans of more than 2,000 years. Fossil records also indicate that the species is among the most ancient of trees — its lineage dating back 160 million years.

At maturity, typical Coast redwoods tower 175 to 300 feet, and have massive trunks (8 feet to an astounding 20 feet in diameter!) with deeply furrowed, reddish-brown bark. Today, only about 5% of America’s primeval Coast redwoods remain, most under state and federal protection. This species is truly one of the natural wonders of Planet Earth.
