One of the sakura trees at Baguio Country Club is finally blooming, delighting members and visitors alike.
The tree’s delicate pink and white blossoms quietly appear, taking advantage of Baguio’s cool climate that mirrors Japan’s spring.
Garden caretakers say the blooms are a rare sight, bringing a sense of wonder to the usually evergreen surroundings.
In the coming days, more guests are expected to flock to the club, hoping to witness the tree’s full blossom.
The club plans to schedule viewing events, encouraging the public to appreciate the moment while keeping the area respectful and clean.
Garden staff will continue nurturing the trees, ensuring they receive the proper care for future flowering seasons.
The sakura trees were donated by Japanese nationals Mr. Shinji Okomora and Mr. Shingeru Tsunashima, along with BCC member Mr. Paz Suzuki.
They gifted the trees in June 2018 and May 2019, hoping Baguio’s climate would help them thrive.
After seven years of careful nurturing, the first bloom finally arrives, proving patience can yield rare natural beauty.
Visitors now celebrate the milestone, sharing photos and stories of the long-awaited blossoms with joy and pride.
