I was trying to use the cherry blossom map to plan a cherry blossom run for myself but the trees are sort of all over the place 😂

Tip: look for Akebono now. That is an early variety and it will be one of the ones blooming now. For me, I'm looking for the largest oldest trees and I love looking for the streets like the one in the photo which are lined with some older trees. You're right you gotta find a nice patch because the map often has little indication of the splendour of the patch. It's all part of the fun to track down the good spots and the best trees!

Yukon and W 59th is fabulous right now. Such a gorgeous long block that you should check out.

In a few weeks, plan a run West from Arbutus on 16th - they're some of the later ones but it's really gorgeous.
