No.60 Stone Splitting Cherry Tree
What a sight! This tree bursts with the power of life. Called the Ishiwarizakura in Japanese, this edohigan sakura is around 350–400 years old and has a trunk circumference of 4.5 meters. A seed that sprouted in a crack in the huge rock, which has a circumference of 21 meters, is said to have split the rock open as it grew. The tree now stands 11.2 meters tall with branches extending 13.9–18.6 meters.
