Cherry blossoms are ugly, a misnomer (they don’t even fruit) and they make people act stupid.

They don’t even fruit- total misnomer. The flowers themselves are not very impressive. The trees are pretty ugly most of the year. And they make people act stupid.

Give me a weeping willow and I’ll show you an actual beautiful tree.

    Weeping willows are beautiful, and they’re beautiful most of the year. Cherry blossoms are pretty plain when they aren’t flowering, but I think they’re gorgeous when they are.

    Living in Korea and visiting Japan in March/April is absolutely stunning.

    They make people act stupid? Isn’t that in itself evidence of their worth. Your opinion is unpopular, even with yourself.

    tell me you never been to Japan without saying it.

    the party under the blossoms is a magnificent time to relax and enjoy a beer and talk with friends outside.

    I’ll grant that I’m a weeb and thusly have a bias. But they’re actually really pretty bud.

    …they are part of the cherry genus (Prunus), and specifically the subgenus Cerasus, and are very closely related to plums, peaches, nectarines, apricots, almonds, and of course, cherries.

    So the entire subgenus is called cherry. But keep hating.

    I grew up outside of DC so they are just home to me. I’ll fight you on this one.

    One of the best flowering trees in my opinion is the Jacaranda. I kind of like the leaves still existing along with the flowers. Gives it a nice contrast. But the way large numbers of cherry blossom trees bloom together is incredible. I haven’t really seen it in person, but from the pictures, I can imagine it would be quite the sight. One doesn’t really get to see that with other trees. Maybe if they were planted together like the cherry blossoms it would be possible, but I’m no botanist, and I’m sure that there’s a reason why it’s not commonly done.

    they literally do produce small cherries, they’re just not edible. that’s a miseducation, not a misnomer.

    There are cherry trees that do produce fruit and they are very beautiful when they blossom. I grew up with 2 in my backyard. But people often plant the decorative variety that don’t fruit because it’s less messy.

    Plot twist: OP can also be found leaving bad reviews of national and state parks. I.E. “El Capitan was pretty lame and contrived. It was just like a small mountain that looks like a big boulder. More like El Not That Great-o. One star.”

    Excellent unpopular opinion! Are you having a bad day?

    What an incredibly dumb thing to have an opinion on. Why not just enjoy it all? Bravo

    It’s not a misnomer and I don’t think you understand the meaning of that word.
    They are cherry BLOSSOM trees.
    Not cherry trees.
    They have blossoms on them.
