Why just the Eastern Cherry Tree?

Since it was an event reward,and there's bound to be people that want to keep it as a special ~thing~ or resell for insane prices, why not do something a little different? - Why not petition SE to release different blossoming/ornamental trees? That way you're allowing for all subscribers the chance to get something nice. Those that did the event, those that did and sold their blossom trees and those that weren't a player or couldn't do the event at the time.

Currently in game we have Apple Trees, Orange Trees and grape vines in various locales so the possibility is there for them to develop different trees. I'll grant you that the Cherry Blossom tree is the most know blossom tree however.

(Yes I'll be that person who tries to find a happy medium for people.)
