Cherry Blossom Season: Early Blooms in Tokyo and Portland.
The cherry blossoms in Portland are starting to bloom, with a minor showing expected by the end of this week and peak times beginning mid to late next week. The Portland Japanese Garden's cherry blossoms are expected to bloom toward the end of March or early April, with a possible delay due to recent snow and cold weather. Keep an eye on the garden's "2023 Cherry Blossom Watch" page for updates.
