The Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C. is surrounded by cherry trees and is where the Jefferson Memorial is located. This area is most famously known for the cherry blossoms that bloom each spring, attracting thousands of visitors.
The cherry trees in Washington D.C. were a gift from the mayor of Tokyo in 1912. 3 thousand Japanese cherry trees were originally planted.
There were two large groups of cherry trees planted around Washington DC. The first 3000 trees were sent by the mayor of Tokyo in 1912, and are planted along the Potomac Tidal Basin, including around the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, the Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial, and the George Mason Memorial. The second set of 3000 trees was planted in 1965, having been grown in the US from buds provided by Japan. These are the trees around the Washington Monument. A smaller group of 50 trees from a different stock were planted in West Potomac Park in 1999. This variety of cherry tree was designated a National Treasure of Japan.
