Few species of plant generate awe like the cherry blossom. Every spring, after the dank of winter, the blooming trees turn parts of Long Island into seas of pink and white foliage. Long Islanders will be able to spot the flowered trees in several areas across the region starting in April.

Cherry blossom trees are starting to bloom for the 2025 season around NYC, as they reach their peak in Washington, D.C.

While cherry blossoms are only at their brightest for a few days, the season can last several weeks. Typically, New Jersey sees the peak of cherry blossom season during the last weeks of March and early April. Central Jersey has a plethora of cherry blossoms, particularly in Linden and Rahway.
