They're beautiful! what species are they?

[toecap]

Kree,

Now that is a great question I am guessing that since the sakura were starting to bloom where these trees were displayed they might be a cherry variety.. only a guess sorry my wife wasn't with me to ask.

[toecap]

By the way anyone care to guess the ages of these trees?

when the weather warms a bit more I will take some pictures of Bonsai I know for a fact are at least 500 years old and post them.

It's coming up on Girl's Day (March 3) when traditionally peach blossoms are displayed. Could any of them be peach?

[toecap]

could be peach, Applestar its a good a guess as mine. Heck I cant even ID my own trees

[tarian]

they havent been trained as bonsai theyre whole life I'm guessing that they must have been grown in the wild for some time
