Cherry blossoms are not indigenous where I live .
But in my neighbouring state of Meghalaya ,which translated means ,"The abode of the clouds" , these trees have been imported and planted.
They have survived and adapted to the soil and climate.Because of our mild winters instead of being a spring festival ,it is a winter festival.
The trees flower in the month of November and we enjoy the beautiful pink flowers.

These flowering trees are now the prime attraction for a tourist festival.
It was an experiment which paid off..The trees adapted to the climate
