FYI this was last week, the cherry blossoms are basically gone now, 2 weeks earlier than last year. Here's a pic from 2 weeks ago.

I've got cherry trees in Australia and they only bloom for a few days the last few years.

Climate sure is changing, our blooms in the PNW have been lasting for weeks almost a whole month now. I remember years ago as a kid it would be less than a week.
