Guardian Saplings are large, sacred Cherry Blossom trees that are being planted throughout Trench by Amaterasu, who has received the roots through the Wonderkind event in April, 2022. Guardian Saplings are divine extensions from the great tree Konohana, said to guard and protect nature, earth, and people. These saplings have a powerful aura to them that attracts people and animals of all kinds and welcomes them all with their wide-open arms and beauty. They will bring a great sense of tranquility and closeness to something otherworldly, unlike any other tree, to those who sit beneath their branches and touch their bark. They are alive and work around the clock to ensure the area they inhabit is a touch safer and purified from the muck of corruption. Water will be cleansed and dirt will be fertile where they rule. These gentle giants must be taken care of just as any tree— despite being sacred in nature, they are still susceptible to pollution and corruption. Too much negativity will cause it to wither and lose its ability to contain the bulk it takes, so characters are encouraged to look after them and keep a healthy exchange of responsibilities. The trees flower and bloom vibrantly in the Spring and are quite resilient during the Winter. Their petals and leaves are edible (do note that too much consumption of the leaves at once is toxic— don't be greedy!). Currently, Guardian Saplings can be found in the following locations:

Forgot to post this back in May! But located next to the tree at the Farther shore is a wood burned Cherry Blossom Tree Sign

The script on it says: A place for friends both old and new. There's always a chance to start again.

The boarder is decorated with hand drawn cherry blossoms 🌸 The sign appeared hours after it first bloomed.
