Cherry Blossom Trees Have Started Blooming Around NYC (New York, Newark: garden, yard)

Nice. Catch it while you can. They don't bloom for all that long.

The Spring Equinox officially happened on March 20th, but New Yorkers know it's not really spring until the cherry blossom trees around the city start blooming. And now it's all happening, so cue up Air's "Cherry Blossom Girl" and gaze longingly at these photos of flamingo-flecked nature on the electronic device of your choosing.

Some of the first sightings of peak pink petals were spotted this weekend in Central Park; below you'll see the action in the west 90s, close to the Central Park Reservoir. I happened to walk across that area last Friday and didn't see anything then, so they must have popped Saturday or Sunday. Nature works fast.

Yea, pretty blooms. I went to the Cherry Blossom festival in DC a few years ago. The blossoms smell sooooo good!

You could also go to Branch Brook Park in Newark for the Japanese cherry trees.

One can always view Cherry Blossom trees at the Bronx/NY Botanical Garden as well as the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. Usually their websites post online when their trees are blossoming.

We used to have a cherry blossom tree in our front yard when I was growing up. They are very pretty when in full bloom, but when it rains, the rain takes the petals off the tree and they get very messy on the ground. Those petals are a slip hazard on concrete if its been raining.
