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.

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?
