Places away from the Tidal Basin to see cherry blossoms while on your social distancing walk
*Out of almost 200,000 street and city park trees that are cataloged by the the DDOT Urban Forestry Division, just shy of 9,000 are cherry blossom trees. According to the database, there are about 1,850 of the famed Yoshino cherry trees, plus many other varieties to enjoy.
For now, let’s pretend the Tidal Basin trees don’t exist and take a look at other key spots in the city. I examined the D.C. government files for neighborhood clusters to isolate where the most cherry blossom trees can be found. . .
The leader overall is the Friendship Heights, American University, Tenleytown cluster. You can find about 700 public cherry trees in those neighborhoods alone! To its south, the Spring Valley, Palisades, Foxhall region is a close second, with just shy of 700 such trees.
Rounding out the top five neighborhood cluster for city cherry blossoms: third most is the Brightwood Park, Petworth zone; fourth most is Congress Heights, Bellevue and Washington Highlands; and for fifth most, there’s Hawthorne, Barnaby Woods and Chevy Chase.'>>>
