Cherry Facts and Fun

Before we dive into our colouring pages, let's learn a few interesting facts about cherries. Did you know that cherries are a symbol of good fortune and happiness in many cultures? They also have a long history, with evidence of cherries being cultivated as early as 300 BC in ancient Rome.

The cherry blossom, or sakura, is a national symbol of Japan and is celebrated annually during the cherry blossom festival, or Hanami. These beautiful flowers are not only visually stunning but also hold significant cultural and spiritual meaning.

Cherry Varieties

There are two main types of cherries: sweet and sour. Sweet cherries, such as Bing and Rainier, are often enjoyed fresh and are perfect for baking. Sour cherries, like Montmorency, are typically used in jams, jellies, and pie fillings due to their tart flavour.

The colour spectrum of cherries is astonishing, ranging from deep, dark purples to bright, vibrant reds. Fond of the classic maraschino cherry? It's not actually a natural variety, but rather a variety of the sour cherry called Royal Anne, dyed bright red and preserved in briny syrup.

Cherry Colours

Speaking of colours, let's explore the vibrant hues cherries come in. From the rich, dusky reds of Bing cherries to the flushed pinks of Rainier cherries, our colouring pages capture the essence of these delectable fruits.

But cherries aren't all about the fruit – the blossoms are equally enchanting. Our cherry blossom colouring pages showcase the delicate pinks and whites of these fleeting flowers, perfect for capturing the beauty of spring.

Cherry Blossom Colours

Cherry blossom season is a beloved annual event that signals the arrival of spring. While the most famous cherry blossom festivals take place in Japan, you can find these beautiful flowers and plenty of cherry blossom colouring pages to celebrate right at home.

The colours of cherry blossoms can vary, but they generally range from soft, pale whites to delicate pinks and deep, fiery reds. Some trees even blossom in shades of purple and lavender, adding a touch of royalty to the landscape.

Mapping the Cherry Blossoms

In Japan, each tree is a particular variety of cherry blossom, with a unique name, appearance, and blossom time. The Japanese Meteorological Agency even has a Cherry Blossom Front that tracks the northward progress of these blossoms across the country.

Our colouring pages offer a global cherry blossom tour, representing various cherry blossom varieties found around the world. From the iconic Somei Yoshino to the enchanting Kwanzan, we've captured the unique beauty of these cherished blossoms.

Celebrating Hanami

During Hanami, people gather to admire the cherry blossoms, often picnicking under the trees with friends and family. Our cherry blossom colouring pages capture the spirit of these festive gatherings, featuring picnic-worthy fruits and trays of traditional Japanese cuisine.

In some regions, visitors even write messages on small wooden plaques called 'emails' and hang them from the branches. Our cherry blossom colouring pages provide the perfect opportunity to create your own special messages or drawings.
