Cherry Blossoms at Branch Brook Park Newark New Jersey
The trees are usually in full bloom for three weeks in April, and at its height, the park’s Cherry Blossom Festival, which is in its 33rd year, attracts more than 10,000 people a day. The collection is a work in progress: A revitalization effort has been under way since a 2005 survey found that the original lot of 2,050 trees, donated by the Bamberger family in 1927, was down to just 984. The alliance has since planted thousands of saplings, and by next year aims to have a total of 4,000 cherry blossom trees dotting the park’s landscape.
