The cherry blossoms were really nice while they lasted. The season is over now, but there is one phrase that I hear every year that people should be careful about.
× The cherry blossom trees were really nice this year.
◯ The blossoms on the cherry trees were really nice this year.
It always happens that someone tells me: "but, there is no fruit with the cherry blossoms!"
Checking Wikipedia, we can find that flowering cherry trees are called Prunus serrulata. The fruit comes from a type called Prunus avium.
● flowering【名】開花｛かいか｝、開花期｛かいかき｝、花の形をしたもの、花飾りをつけること、花飾り (definition from Eijiro on the Web)
