The other cherry tree, known in Japanese as Kinkimame cherry, which usually blossoms in late March, started blossoming on and off since November, its roots apparently warmed by hot-water pipes buried nearby the tree, officials say. The courtyard was used as a snow dumping site last year, and at one point 4 meters high of snow were dumped there after a huge snow storm hit the area.
