In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Japan alone has over 100 varieties of cherry trees. They are also commonly seen at cherry blossom festivals around the United States, and they are designed to have very showy flowers.  Japanese cherry blossoms are as large as carnations. Kwanzan cherry trees produce white or pink double blooms, and Yoshino cherry trees produce white single blooms. Japanese cherry trees do not produce fruit. They are grown for their beauty, not their bounty. These trees are native to North America. They can grow very large and they are usually quite straight. Their flowers are smaller and white.  The flowers will appear in long narrow clusters after the leaves come out in the spring. If you see orange colored fuzz along the midrib of various leaves, it’s probably a black cherry tree. Otherwise, it’s likely a chokecherry. These trees are used to produce the cherries sold commercially. Sometimes these trees are called sweet cherry or sour cherry trees. They have small, white flowers with 5 petals that bloom before the leaves grow completely in the early spring. Sweet cherry trees have more leaves than sour cherry trees. Sweet cherry trees have leaves with more than 8 pairs of veins for each leaf. Sour cherry tree leaves have fewer than 8 pairs of veins per leaf. People often mistake plum trees for cherry trees, especially when they start blossoming. Here are the main distinctions:  Cherry trees' smell is faint, if not non existent. Plum trees are fragrant. Cherry blossoms have clefts at the tips of the petals, while plum blossoms are oval.  Cherry tree bark has horizontal lines. Plum blossom bark is darker than cherry tree bark and does not have horizontal lines. Cherry buds are oval. Plum buds are round. Cherry tree leaves are green or copper. Plum leaves are purple.
Summary: Identify Japanese cherry trees. Identify black cherry or choke cherry trees. Identify agricultural cherry trees. Distinguish between plum and cherry trees.

” You can use “therefore” in the middle of a sentence that includes 2 independent clauses, but not a sentence that contains dependent clauses. An independent clause can stand alone as a sentence, or you can separate independent clauses using a semicolon.  For example, “therefore” can be used to separate 2 clauses like, “California is a coastal state. It has many beaches.” You would rewrite it to say, “California is a coastal state; therefore, it has many beaches.” In some cases, you can also use “therefore” to start a sentence. For example, “June’s car broke down on her way to work. Therefore, she was late for the meeting.” Remember that “therefore” needs to be ‘’between’’ 2 independent clauses, not after them. “Therefore” is not a word that should be used too often in writing. It will sound best if you use it sparingly, so take care not to overuse it. Use other transition words to vary your sentences, such as “so,” “then,” “accordingly,” “consequently,” “thus,” or “since.”  For instance, you could replace “therefore” with “thus” in the previous example. You would say, "California is a coastal state; thus, it has many beaches." Remember to always make sure that the alternative word or phrase you use will work the same way as “therefore” for the sentence. If you aren’t sure, look it up on a site like https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/owlprint/574/. “Therefore” is not used as often in speech as it is in writing because it can sound a bit too formal for everyday conversations. For this reason, you may want to avoid using “therefore” when you are speaking in most cases and opt for more casual transitions, such as “so” and “then.”  For example, it might sound a little odd to people if you said, “It was raining when I left for work this morning, therefore I needed my raincoat.” An exception to this rule might be if you are giving a speech or presentation.

One-sentence summary -- Separate independent clauses using “therefore. Use “therefore” sparingly. Write “therefore” rather than saying it.

Problem: Article: Stain colors the wood, but you also need to protect your hard work by applying an exterior urethane finish on the surface of the stain to seal and protect it. Finish comes in flat, semi-gloss or high gloss, and will need to be applied in several coats. Always follow the manufacturer's recommended directions.  Water-based finishes are somewhat more environmentally friendly, but can also result in that "peach fuzz" texture that the stain creates as well. Apply the finish using a similar application and buffing process, using the steel wool or sandpaper between coats. Wipe down the surface with a wet rag. Allow the wood to dry thoroughly before applying finish, sanding it lightly if necessary before you begin. Follow the same basic procedure and pattern for applying the finish, using long even strokes and a uniform coat with the brush. Use a cloth to wipe off and smooth out excess finish if necessary. Read the manufacturer's instructions to find out how long to wait between coats, usually somewhere between two and six hours. Apply at least two more coats for a thorough, even finish over the first coat. which will be more heavily sanded than usual for a finish coat. By the time you get to the last coat, you shouldn't be sanding at all. When you've applied all the coats of finish, let the door dry thoroughly and wipe it down with a clean cloth to make sure it's completely dust free and clean before hanging it back in place. If you removed the hardware from the door, reattach it as before ad get your door ready to hang back up in the frame. Have a partner help to hold it in place while you screw the fixtures back in and reinsert the hinge pin into place to complete the job.
Summary:
Choose an appropriate urethane finish for the door. Use a bristle or foam brush to apply finish. Sand off any bristles that appear after the first finish coat. Reattach all hardware.
