I hear what you are both saying.  I guess I didn't want to 'not see the wood for the trees' or 'blossom'!  I think as a composition, the focus on the blossom is good, as most people (me included) find the blossom beautiful.  But I also find the wood of the cherry tree to be beautiful and didn't want to ignore that beauty.  I guess it could be argued that we can admire the woody nature of the cherry tree most of the time, but when its blossom time, lets focus on the blossom!  I guess the tree is also saying that, 'hey look at my blossom'!
