It's cherry blossom season in NYC! Here's where you can find the trees in bloom
CENTRAL PARK (WABC) -- A sign of the season in New York City, cherry blossom trees in parts of the five boroughs are in bloom once again. Here's where you can find them.
Brooklyn Botanic Garden
According to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden's online CherryWatch, a few trees have had their first blooms.
The vast majority of the trees in the Cherry Esplanade remain in pre-bloom.
Central Park
On Friday, the Central Park Conservancy's online cherry blossom tracker showed that the trees along the west side of the Reservoir were in bloom.
Meanwhile, the trees along the east side of the Reservoir, in the Great Lawn, at Cherry Hill, on Pilgrim Hill, and in Sheep Meadow are all pre-bloom but should be in bloom very soon.
Flushing Meadows Corona Park
While there isn't a dedicated tracker for the cherry blossom trees in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, according to the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation, the park's cherry trees are usually the first in the city to blossom.
