Is This Cherry Blossom?

[Kwong]

This photo was taken outside Grand Palace, Bangkok last week.

Can someone tell me what's the name of this tree?

It looks like cherry blossom, but Bangkok is too hot for cherry tree.

Many thanks.

It's rather some kind of a peach tree.

Living in Japan, I have seen a sakura or two:

Edit: even forgot to call it anything else than sakura: = cherry blossom

Thanks for the help.

If your reply was for me thithi, I would like to say I worked at the International Gardens during the expo. Japan and other overseas countries, including the one I worked for shared the same huge temperature control facility at the quarantine building. 

For the period during the expo. we were quite busy daily attending to our assigned crops. I am sure the Japanese agricultural technicians took care of the plants that came from Japan. They had to force the cut branches of sakura with live buds from Japan to bloom in late January,2007 by increasing the temperature gradually. That was alot of hard work that visitors did not know.

China may have her own variety of sakura. But the one in the Indoor Exhibition Hall during the Japanese Week came from Japan.

I was not saying that you are not right. The ones in the Indoor Exhibition Hall are Japanese, I know that.

But what I mean is the another one in Nan province. And they are not Japanese Sakura but Chinese.

Sakura blossoms around mid-April, starting early April in the south (Fukuoka), mid-April Osaka-Nagoya-Tokyo (one weekend apart) and late April north and Hokkaido (Sapporo).

What blossoms end of January - early February is not sakura - it's wild peach. They look like the picture you enclosed.

Japanese can control that kind of blossom that would come out about that time anyway but hardly cut branches of sakura that is due 2 months later.

Hotels are decorated with those blossoms early to mid February, most foreigners think it's sakura but it is not. It's there to look nice at the reception/foyer while trees outside are still bare.

This is not sakura:

I identified this tree earlier in the Plants forum.
