Spring arrived on Thursday, March 20th, 2025, and with Spring comes cherry Blossom season, which will also arrive in a few weeks.

Typically, in New Jersey, the peak bloom happens between the second and third week of April. But with warmer winters and earlier springs, cherries have been blooming earlier in recent years in New Jersey.

There is nothing prettier than watching Cherry Blossoms pop up. with clusters of these trees in parks, and gardens and lining some streets.
