DC cherry blossoms hit peak bloom 4 days earlier than initially predicted, 2nd earliest on record

Posted by Max Mar 17 '24, 18:40

"The NPS describes “peak bloom” as when 70% of the Yoshino Cherry trees that line the National Mall and the Tidal Basin are open. They typically bloom for several days and can vary based on weather conditions.

It is the cherry trees’ second-earliest peak bloom on record and follows one of Washington’s warmest recorded winters. In 1990, the trees blossomed on March 15."

- We just need to genetically modify the trees to bloom on Valentine's day and then continuously drop petals and replace them, like shark teeth. -- nm - Max Mar 17, 18:55
