JUST IN TIME FOR SPRING.. THE CHERRY BLOSSOMS GET RUINED
The National Park Service inspected the Japanese flowering cherry trees around the Tidal Basin Wednesday morning in the wake of bitter overnight temperatures.
Horticulturalists found widespread damage in blossoms that had reached “puffy white,” the fifth of six stages in the bloom cycle.
They have taken cuttings of branches containing blossoms at earlier stages and will force them open over the next 24-48 hours to determine what, if any, damage may have occurred in those blossoms.
