How can I say this in Japanese (about sakura blossoms)?
Someone in Japan asked if we have sakura blossoms where I live, in Canada. I'm actually.... not sure. How might I say :
"I'm not sure if we have sakura trees here, but we have trees that look similar"
Also, I might want to add:
"In Vancouver and Toronto they have them, but I don't live there."
Is there a way to say this in Japanese?

"I'm not sure if we have sakura trees here, but we have trees that look similar"
漢字「ここ(カナダ)に桜があるかはわからないけど、桜に似た木はあります。」
ひらがな「ここにさくらがあるかはわからないけど、さくらににたきはあります。」
ローマ字「koko ni sakura ga aruka wa wakaranai kedo, sakura ni nita ki wa arimasu」
"In Vancouver and Toronto they have them, but I don't live there."
漢字「バンクーバーとトロントには、桜があります。でも、私はそこには住んでいません。」
ひらがな「バンクーバーとトロントには、さくらがあります。でも、わたしはそこにはすんでいません。」
ローマ字「vancouver to toronto niwa sakura ga arimasu. demo watashi wa sokoniwa sunndeimasenn」
I wasnt sure if you can read kanji or hiragana, katakana, so i wrote 3 ways.
I used to live in vancouver couple years ago. ive seen sakura there!
