DC Cherry Blossom Map

It’s here! Cherry-blossom season is upon us: The National Park Service predicts the trees along the Tidal Basin will burst into peak bloom next week. That means downtown DC and the National Mall will be bursting too – with tourists.

Fear not residents of our fair city! We’ve updated our beloved Cherry Blossom map (featuring all blossoms, not just the attention-grabbing Yoshino trees around the Tidal Basin)!

Other than in their obvious downtown locations, the cherry trees are vaguely clustered around the ‘outer’ edges of the city. So check it out, search for the address of your house, work, or favorite brunch spot and get wandering around the city. Zoom in, zoom out, then head outside to see for yourself before they’re gone! There are truly so many trees – and parts of our city – to enjoy.
