That gorgeous fluffy pink canopy hanging over the lush green grass of Vancouver. Some of the flowering fruit trees of Canada’s West Coast peek out as early as January to hint at spring on the way. It's another weather quirk that makes this city so atypically Canadian, yet such a Canadian gem. And absolutely worth a visit anytime from late-February to May. This year, the blossoms are on track for an amazing season. Whether you have them blossoming in your yard or not, there are ways to enjoy them from home. Read on to find out.
Hundreds of flowering cherry trees were given as a gift from Japan, to be placed in Stanley Park in honour of Japanese Canadians who served in World War I. This was the first of Vancouver’s cherry tree plantings. Some were meant to replace larger deciduous trees with disruptive root systems and overgrown canopies. The move to smaller flowering crab apple, plum and cherry trees intensified after the 1950s.
There are now more than 43,000 cherry trees in Vancouver (including more than 50 different varietals or 'cultivars') on display around Vancouver.
There's definitely no need to wait for the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival, which begins April 4, though this could be peak time. Generally, flowers from the Whitcomb cultivar are the earliest of the cherry blossoms to appear—locals caught them on camera during the second week of January in Stanley Park!
Follow along as the blooms happen through updates from the great folks at the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival. They post regular updates neighbourhood-by-neighbouroood so we can all enjoy the beauty of Vancouver in the spring, no need to even leave your house!
