Scene: High Vantage in High Park

By • Photo by Harry Choi

WHERE: High Park

WHEN: Friday, April 13

WHAT: We genuinely couldn’t tell if this was part of some planned performance or just one guy who really, really appreciates cherry blossoms. Either way: don’t. We like the Sakuras as much as anyone, but you are taking your trees too seriously right now, guy.

    lets just say when I was there on Friday the 13th at about 6pm the air was thick with ‘fragrance’, and it wasn’t the sakura’s burning if you know what I mean.

      How do you know he was doing it for attention? And what’s so bad about paying a modicum of attention to someone for climbing a tree? Really, who the hell cares?

    That is a great way to damage the trees. In Japan people don’t climb the trees or shake the branches, because they know the trees bloom for only a short time each year and they want them to last as long a possible.

    It’s his risk to take.
