**Washington, D.C. –** The National Park Service announced Friday that the cherry blossom trees around the Tidal Basin have reached peak bloom, right on schedule. The peak bloom period, defined as at least 70% of the trees showing blossoms, was predicted for March 28-31 and materialized on March 28th. While this is tied for the latest peak bloom in the last six years, it remains earlier than the historical average. Visitors are encouraged to enjoy the spectacle, though those unable to attend can find photos online.
