goldfish, beautiful pics!

On/around what date of which month do the cherry blossoms usually reach their full bloom in Vancouver ? Sounds like a silly question but I believe they last only for a couple of days and they usually bloom about the same time every year.

Random reply. Cherry trees don't grow in these latitudes. We have pine tree and fir. Some juniper, provided the soil is not devastated by forest machines. I don't know if forest machine is a correct American term. Try to figure out what I have in mind.

Krabo, Finland.

I can never remember exactly - they just kinda happen with the weather cycle.. this year some of them are already starting to bloom due to mild weather, and different varietals bloom at different times. They do last a good month or two+ due to the different ones blooming at different times. There are approx 40,000 cherry trees around the city that make for a whoooooollle lot of cherry blossoms.

According to this, April seems to be prime time: http://www.tourismvancouver.com/do/expl ... _blossoms/
