Cherry Blossom Season in New York City

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Apr 6, 2022

Spring in New York City means an abundance of Cherry Blossom trees in full bloom. New York City has over 34,000 individual cherry trees and nearly two dozen varieties of them, meaning that for a six-week period in the spring, you can find one blooming nearly anywhere. To learn about the best places to see the beautiful trees, we're joined by James Kaechele, NYC Parks’ Director of Tree Time. To see a map of every tree in New York City, you can visit the NYC Parks Department tree map here.
