Trees and flowers found along narrow streets in Japan.

This page shows a diversity of plants growing along the streets, in parks, and around buildings or landmarks, including up under a bridge!

Space limitation is definitely not a deterrent for the Japanese to line their narrow streets with flowers or shade-loving shrubs.
