Requests:  0 Summary:  "Collingwood 'Cherry' Ingram first fell in love with the sakura, or cherry tree, when he visited Japan on his honeymoon in 1907. So taken with the plant, he brought back hundreds of cuttings with him to England, where he created a garden of cherry varieties. In 1926, he learned that the Great White Cherry had become extinct in Japan. Six years later, he buried a living cutting from his own collection in a potato and repatriated it via the Trans-Siberian Express. In the years that followed, Ingram sent more than 100 varieties of cherry tree to new homes around the globe, from Auckland to Washington. As much a history of the cherry blossom in Japan as it is the story of one remarkable man, the narrative follows the flower from its adoption as a national symbol in 794, through its use as an emblem of imperialism in the 1930s, to the present-day worldwide obsession with forecasting the exact moment of the trees' flowering"--Publisher's description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 580.92 Collingwood Ab   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 580.92 Collingwood Ab   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 580.92 Ingram 2019 Checked In Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Biography B Ingram Abe   Transit Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 580.92 Collingwood Ab   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 580.92 Collingwood Ab   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Biography B Ingram Ab   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 580.92 Collingwood Ab   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 580.92 Collingwood Ab   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 580.92 Collingwood Ab   Checked In Add Copy to MyList
