Besides Dubs, the cherry blossoms may be the most beloved emblem of the UW. Thousands of visitors show up every year to appreciate their fleeting beauty, but few know the facts behind the flowers. Get to know them a little better with these fun background bits about everyone’s favorite trees.
Where did the trees come from?
It’s a bit of a mystery! The Quad’s signature Yoshino cherry trees have multiple origin stories. The leading theory has been that they were purchased for $1.25 each in 1939 for the Washington Park Arboretum, where they were originally planted. But Yuki Shiotani, who studied at the UW in 2016–17 on an exchange from Waseda University in Tokyo, debunked this in an extensive paper on the cherry trees, citing evidence that the Quad’s trees were planted on or before 1936 by the Works Progress Administration as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal, and it was different trees that were planted in the Arboretum in ’39.

Due to the lack of records, it remains unclear whether the Quad’s trees were originally donated or purchased. What we do know is that the UW has received donated cherry trees from Japan and Japanese American organizations on other occasions, including 18 trees gifted by the Japan Commerce Association of Washington, D.C., in 2014, now planted at Rainier Vista.
