FeaturesIn Japan for a long time, it has been treated as sacred trees "Shinki" and "Anime Trees" dedicated to the shrine shelves. As a result, they were shunned from bringing them to general gardens as garden trees and plants, and seemed to be one of the factors behind the delay in horticulturalization. Horticulturalization progressed in Western Europe, and at the end of the Meiji era, "Western Rhododendron" came and became common. In the center, it can be seen under the site of a large greenhouse.
