The cherry blossoms in Washington, D.C., typically bloom around late March to early April, depending on weather conditions. The trees were a gift from Japan in 1912 and line the Tidal Basin, creating a stunning pink canopy. The National Cherry Blossom Festival celebrates this event with various cultural events, parades, and performances, attracting millions of visitors each year. It’s a symbol of friendship between the United States and Japan and a significant event in D.C.’s spring calendar.
Yoshino Cherry trees are popular and beautiful trees that flower in the spring. Their masses of pink and white blossoms are one of the first signals that winter has ended. Cherry tree varieties bloom over the course of several weeks, and climate will dictate how early or late these trees will showcase their spectacular flowers.
