"Across the US-from Washington, DC, to Portland, Oregon-you'll start to spy those sakura beauties as early as mid-March, while international destinations, like Kyoto, exhibit peak blooms in early April. Springtime strolls in these cities are simply unparalleled, thanks to their botanical splendor."
"Branch Brook Park, a stunning stretch of nature designed by the architectural duo behind the New York Public Library. This gem of a park in New Jersey is home to the largest collection of cherry blossom trees in the US, with over 18 different varieties (full bloom is expected the first or second week of April)."
"While walking around cherry blossom-lined streets is one way to appreciate the seasons, there are plenty of other ways to join in on the fun, whether that means attending a flowery festival in Macon, Georgia (the cherry blossom capital of the world!), or seeing the trees by boat on a canal tour through Copenhagen."
Cherry blossoms provide a refreshing springtime attraction across multiple US cities and international destinations. Peak bloom times vary by location, with US cities like Washington, DC and Portland seeing blossoms as early as mid-March, while Kyoto reaches peak blooms in early April. Beyond walking through blossom-lined streets, visitors can experience cherry blossoms through festivals, boat tours, and lesser-known locations. Branch Brook Park in Newark, New Jersey, contains the largest collection of cherry blossom trees in the US with over 18 varieties, offering an alternative to crowded popular sites like Central Park. Multiple NYC locations including the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Riverside Park, and Sakura Park provide accessible viewing opportunities throughout the city.
