My moms coming down that weekend and was hoping to see them.
I’m not super optimistic, so anyone know any alternatives that would be good to see instead?
Thanks!
Edit: Easter is April 8th

April 9. And I think the answer is no. I’d go to the arboretum instead

Yeah, I think they will be mostly done. There may be a few left on each tree.

There may be cherry blossoms in the DC area but unlikely the tidal basin blossoms will be around.

The Arboretum has different varieties of Cherry Blossoms so they might be still around then. They have information in their app about the different varieties so you can do your own tour. There won’t be as many in bloom at once but it’s still really nice to go. In the Tidal Basin, there are only 2 varieties of cherry blossoms so they all bloom at once.

How long do they usually last?

A week. Give or take a storm.
