芦屋のサービスアパートメント”ミミロッコ”徒然帳

時季外れの桜の話題

今年の桜の時期は過ぎてしまいましたが、ミミロッコご入居の皆様に芦屋川沿いに咲く３本の桜の木についてお知らせします。

阪急電車の芦屋川駅より南側へ５０メートル程進むと「つきわかばし」があります。その橋の東詰より芦屋川の土手に沿って桜並木が続いています。橋の欄干から１本目が八重桜の老木、２本目がソメイヨシノの若木、３本目がソメイヨシノの老木と並んでいます。

それ等３本の桜の開花時期が異なります。先ず、２本目の若木が咲き、散り始めた頃に３本目の老木が開花、それが散り始めると１本目の八重桜が見事な八重の花を開花させます。

毎年、これら３本の桜の開花の移りゆく姿を見るのを楽しみに通勤しています。ミミロッコから徒歩でたったの５分、皆様来年ご覧になっては如何でしょうか？

Topic of cherry trees though their season is over.


I would like to inform you about the three cherry trees
located along Ashiya River,
though Sakura season this year is already over.

About 50 meters southward away
from Ashiyagawa station of Hankyu railway,
there is a bridge named Tsukiwakabashi.
You can see the row of cherry blossom trees
along the river extending from the east end of this bridge.

Next to the parapet of the bridge to the north side
is an aged double flowers cherry tree
so called Yaezakura.
The second one is a young Somei-yoshino cherry tree
while the third one is aged of same kind.

The timings of blossoms of these three trees
differ from one to another.
The young Somei-yoshino tree starts blooming first.
The aged one starts blooming
while the petals of cherry blossoms of young one are almost gone.
Finally, the aged Yaezakura starts blooming
when the flowers of aged Somei-yoshino starts going away.

I enjoyed the scenes of these three cherry trees
ever changing the timings of blooming every year.
It is about 5 minutes walking distance from Mimilocco.
So, why don’t you take a look next year?
