Hello everyone!
So I have this project to label my bonsais in japanese (when they will be worthy to call bonsai), and I thougth to myself that maybe someone could be interested as well, so why not to share my research so far?
I started searching for names of the trees that I own, but then I kept searching for those who I would like to aquire.
I wrote them in Katakana first, then Kanji, then in our alphabet, then I wrote the latin names, then the common english names.
モミジサンゴカク(珊瑚閣紅葉)
Sango Kaku Momiji (Acer Palmatum Sango Kaku) - Japanese Maple Coral Bark
モミジデショウジョウ(出猩々紅葉)
Deshojo Momiji (Acer Palmatum Deshojo) - Japanese Maple Deshojo
ボケ(木瓜)
Boke (Chaenomeles Japonica) - Flowering Quince
セイヨウリンゴ (西洋林檎)
Seiyou Ringo (Malus Domestica) - Crabapple
アカマツ(赤松)
Akamatsu (Pinus densiflora) - Japanese Red Pine
トウカエデ(唐楓)
Toukaede (Acer Buergerianum) - Trident Maple
ウメ(梅)
Ume (Prunus Mume) - Japanese Apricot
Now this one is quite tricky, because apparently japanese doesn't seem to have a name for this. Everywhere I searched it was written just as a generic Japanese Maple. But I find some images where it was written as Red Japanes Maple. So this might not be correct at all.
アカモミジ(赤紅葉)
Akamomiji (Acer Palmatum Atropurpureum?) - Japanese Maple Atropurpureum
So that's it for my list.
If someone is interested and wants to know any other tree name in japanese I could try and search for it.
Cheers!
