Cherry blossom season may be the most popular spring event in Washington, D.C. The catch? You only have a short window each year to see these beautiful blossoms bloom each year around the U.S. capital.
When do the cherry blossoms bloom in Washington, D.C.?
In recent years, the bloom has trended earlier than the average, which the National Park Service reports isHowever, the entire event is weather dependent and is hard to fully predict. In 2008, green buds, or the first phase of cherry blossom season, were recorded on trees as early as Feb. 19 and peak bloom occurred March 26. Conversely, in 2020, green buds were recorded Feb. 28 and peak bloom occurred March 20.
In January of this year, what appeared to be early blossoms sent residents into a frenzy, but the pink blooms were actually plum tree blooms, according to NBC affiliateNPS spokesperson Mike Litterst told NBC4 Washington that “the blossoms look very similar to cherries.” “So invariably, when the plum trees come out, usually late January, early February, there is a lot of excitement that maybe the cherry trees are coming early this year, but they are two completely different species,” he said.Kait Hanson / TODAY: “Usually the first trees to blossom on the National Mall each year, the lovely pink flowers on the Japanese plum trees begin to show in late January. You can see them now near the District of Columbia War Memorial, south of the Reflecting Pool.
