Ultimate New York City Cherry Blossom Guide
Adventuress Ashley
If you are looking to plan a trip to New York City during Cherry Blossom season, then this ultimate guide is for you!
I LOVE Cherry Blossom season, and as someone who lives in New York City, I put together this guide to share some of my favorite spots and recommendations for the best places to see the best blooms around Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island and nearby in New Jersey.
Fun Fact: There are actually many types of Cherry Blossom Trees in New York City that bloom starting from early March through May.
This guide is in both a list form and interactive map, and showcases where to find:
*Okame Cherry Blossoms (first blooms of the season)
*Yoshino Cherry Blossoms
*Kwanzan Cherry Blossoms
*Weeping Higan Cherry Blossoms
**BONUS: Saucer & Star Magnolias around the city (these bloom during Cherry Blossom season and not to be missed!
If are planning to visit Washington DC during Cherry Blossom season, make sure to check out my 'Ultimate Washington DC Cherry Blossom Guide' to find the best blooms in DC and when to see them.

Cherry Blossoms Info
When you hear mention of Cherry Blossoms in New York City, you immediately think of the gorgeous Cherry Blossom Trees in Central Park!Â
While these are a must see, there are also a number of other Cherry Blossom varieties that tend to start bloom early March through May. Â
Below you will find a breakdown of the main varieties (Okame, Yoshino & Kwanzan), when to catch them in "peak" bloom, where they are located, and some helpful tips around parking (if you choose to drive).Â
Note: each year these dates can vary slightly based on the weather. This guide will be updated annually with the latest information and throughout this year as we get closer to "peak" blooms.Â
