Cherry Blossom Land at Branch Brook Park: A Bamberger Fuld Legacy
presents the history of the Japanese cherry trees in Newark, New
Jersey with spectacular images of the local cherry blossoms
photographed by the author. The Japanese cherry trees are
surrounded by beautiful Branch Brook Park, the first county park in
the United States. Cherry Blossom Land at Branch Brook Park also
details the remarkable life of Caroline Bamberger Fuld, who gifted
the first cherry trees to Branch Brook Park in 1927. Today, Branch
Brook Park embodies 359 lush acres of forest and fields with
stunning landscapes. Architecturally diverse bridges span small
lakes and gushing streams. Branch Brook Park follows the Japanese
tradition of honoring the delicate beauty and short life span of
the cherry blossom with annual festivals. Cherry Blossom Land at
Branch Brook Park provides a "how to" approach for the
identification of cherry trees in the park. It also encourages
"hanami," the delightful pastime of cherry blossom viewing first
practiced by 7th century Japanese aristocrats. Branch Brook Park is
listed in both the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic
Places. Book review: "I thoroughly enjoyed the book, especially
learning about the Bamberger/Fuld Family which put the history of
the Cherry Blossoms into a helpful timeline. It will be a great
read for anyone interested in finding out how Branch Brook Park's
collection of Cherry Blossoms exceeds Washington DC's The short
history perfectly describes the making of Cherry Blossom Land and
I'm sure others will find this book very informative. The
descriptions of the Cherry Blossoms themselves will be quite
helpful to the amateur horticulturist " Robin Dougherty, Executive
Director Greater Newark Conservancy
