March 6, 2023 Bangkok

Between March 22 to March 25, Washington, D.C.’s iconic cherry blossoms are predicted to be at their peak bloom, which, if accurate, would be one of the earliest dates the blooms have ever reached that point.

The National Park Service forecasted a date on Wednesday for when it anticipates that 70% of cherry trees will be in blossom. The forecast comes after an unusually warm winter with wildly varying weather that has included anything from spring-like days to snowstorms.

Jeff Reinbold, NPS superintendent of the National Mall and Memorial Parks, stated at a news conference that this year has been particularly difficult to read the trees and forecast peak bloom because it has emerged from the third warmest winter on record. “The trees never reached their winter dormancy, which is the starting point for predicting when the blossoms will emerge, because of the warmer than typical temperatures,” says the author.

The NPS natural resource manager, in fact, “liked the trees this year — our indicator tree — to a teenager,” according to Reinbold. There are several things happening there right now.

Only a few years, including 2020 and 2012, when the trees achieved peak bloom on March 20, have predicted peak bloom earlier than this one. According to the NPS, the earliest peak bloom was in 1990 when it happened by March 15, while the latest was in 1958 on April 18.

The trees should retain their blossoms for around 10 days after they have peaked.

The trees themselves were planted around the Tidal Basin close to the National Mall with many areas to observe them as a gift from Japan in 1912. Washington D.C. is celebrating the blossoms. offers a number of events during its annual National Cherry Blossom Festival.

Mayor Muriel Bowser of Washington, D.C., stated at the press conference that welcome visitors, letting them experience the city, having them tell their friends about it, and having them return the following year are what the city’s actual business is.

There are many locations outside of Washington, D.C., where you can see cherry blossoms in the spring, such as Branch Brook Park in Newark, New Jersey. and Japan, of course.
