In school grounds of elementary and other schools, Yaezakura trees are often planted along with Someiyoshino, because Yaezakura is in bloom longer than Someiyoshino, therefore people can see the flowers at the time of entrance into schools.
小学校などの校庭には、学生の入学時に桜の花が咲いているようにするため、ソメイヨシノに比べて開花期間が長い八重桜を混植することが多い。
