Reply to comment by glopmod in To Restaurants: Sakura blossoms don't taste like cherries by glopmod

That's a bit dramatic lol, they are fairly closely related to the trees that produce edible cherries.

They aren't fairly close flavors at all?

One is a fruit.

The other is the flower from a fruitless tree.

Or the flower of a fruit tree. Cherry producing cherry trees also have blossoms. That’s how fruit works.

And those aren't the ones on the tidal basin that we have a festival for.

The flavors are different.

Thanks for coming to the TEDtalk.

Fair enough, it's not remotely the same as dog and dogwood though lol

Cherry blossom trees have fruit. Humans just don't eat it.
