The Flowering Cherries are Blooming!
There is no surer sign of spring than when the flowering cherry trees begin to bloom. There will be thousands of trees in bloom over the next month. The first to bloom are usually the Flowering Plums including ‘Pissardi Nigra’ and ‘Bliriana’. The rest will bloom over 6 to 8 weeks.
To celebrate the flowering cherries as they come into bloom The Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival runs this year from April 1st – 23rd, 2022. For more information about the varieties you might find in bloom throughout greater Vancouver visit the Cherry Blossom Festival website here.
