Flowers blooming on Cherry trees is a harbinger of spring because Cherry trees bloom first, before other flowering trees. While these blooms are a much anticipated spectacle, predicting when the cherry trees will bloom \u2026 is difficult business.<\/p>\n

From Macon Georgia to Boston Massachusetts, you can visit well-known groves of cherry trees. The trees bloomed in Georgia last week. Unfortunately, I missed it because of car trouble.<\/p>\n

The very first blooms appeared in Macon GA around March 10. The very first blooms appeared in Washington D.C. just a few days ago.<\/p>\n

The general blooming of Cherry trees in Washington D.C. has not happened yet, but should begin by end of this week.
