Photograph by David Coleman. Washington DC's famed cherry blossoms transform the Tidal Basin each spring with their distinctive pink and white blooms. The majority of these trees are Yoshino cherries (Prunus x yedoensis), part of the original 1912 gift of 3, 020 trees from Mayor Yukio Ozaki of Tokyo. Peak bloom, defined as the point when 70 percent of the blossoms are open, typically occurs between mid-March and mid-April, with the exact timing varying based on weather conditions. The National Cherry Blossom Festival celebrates this annual flowering, drawing more than 1.5 million visitors to the capital. The trees surround the 107-acre Tidal Basin, creating a 1.8-mile walkway lined with blossoms. The National Park Service carefully monitors the trees' development through six bloom stages, providing forecasts for peak bloom that help visitors plan their trips. This springtime display has become one of Washington's most significant cultural events, symbolizing both the arrival of spring and the enduring friendship between Japan and the United States.
