Ylva’s reign is closely associated with the so-called ''Imperial Cherry'' tradition: the first successful cultivation of a cherry tree in the Palace courtyard from a single cherry pit gifted during a state visit to the [[Grand Duchy of Greater Urq]]. Over subsequent decades, cuttings and pits from the Palace tree were distributed throughout Directionland, and the blossom became a widely recognized emblem of the Imperial Family. | Ylva’s reign is closely associated with the so-called ''Imperial Cherry'' tradition: the first successful cultivation of a cherry tree in the Palace courtyard from a single cherry pit gifted during a state visit to the [[Grand Duchy of Greater Urq]].
