The National Park Service has announced that the cherry blossoms around the Tidal Basin and National Mall in Washington D.C. have entered the early stages of bloom. Small green buds have appeared on the Yoshino cherry trees, indicating the start of the six-stage development process. Peak bloom is expected to occur between March 28 and March 31, with at least 70% of the blossoms fully opening to create the iconic pink-and-white canopy that draws thousands of visitors each year.
The early bloom is attributed to warmer winters in recent years, with last year’s peak occurring on March 17 and the latest first-stage bloom in the past 20 years happening in 2015 on March 18. Nature lovers and residents of D.C. will have to wait as the trees progress through the stages, leading to the breathtaking sight of full blossoms around the nation’s capital.
The cherry blossoms are a highly anticipated annual event in Washington D.C., attracting tourists and locals alike to witness the beauty of the spring bloom. The National Park Service uses historical data, weather patterns, and tree conditions to forecast the peak bloom period, providing an estimated timeframe for visitors to plan their visits and enjoy the stunning display of cherry blossoms in the nation’s capital.
