Flowering months listed here are typical dates during a normal year. But these dates can change depending on numerous factors including rainfall, temperature and cloud cover. There will be some overlap between the mid and late season cherry blossoms.
This is just a sampling, not a complete list of late-flowering Cherry trees found in our parks and on our streets and boulevards. If streets around them have similar Cherry trees, they are not always listed here.
The Westside of Vancouver means west of Main Street and Eastside means east of Main. There will be some overlap when neighbourhoods span both the Westside and Eastside of Main Street.
