Are sakura really that fragile?

Sakuras are not fragile by definition. The problem comes from the population density of these trees, which causes certain fungus infections can infect a lot of trees at once. These fungus can live indefinitely on the tree bark without creating any symptoms on the infected trees, but any open wound, like, snapping a branch or so, can create entry point of which it can infect the entire tree and causes it to wither.

It's the same problem with the current mono-variety banana tree farms.

Poor Nyaru, she didn't mean anything bad by it.

Ah, it's that old problem. Now I understand.

They don't have fists for fist bumps either, but they did it anyways.

That being said, a single puchi breaking a single twig off isn't going to spell doom for the tree right away as most Sakura trees likely get damaged multiple times over the course of a viewing season what with all the drunk blue collar workers around. It's just that the damage increases by many magnitudes once people get used to cavalierly plucking a souvenir.
