Currently, KP4 develops sakura trees to be able to grow in tropical countries. Beginning January 2010, KP4 started to build a garden measuring 1000 m2 in size and to prepare some 100 trees. According to the Head of KP4, Dr. Ir. Cahyono Agus D.K., M.Sc., the development of the sakura tree is for edu-tourism and research plot.
