It has been a tough cold week that brought some freezing temperatures. Usually, colder days are expected in March. However, some flowers can’t survive the freezing temperatures for an extended period.
Sadly many Magnolias around NYC that were blooming and reached their peak bloom didn’t make it, and their flowers dried out from the freeze.
On the bright side, if there is such one, there are still some Magnolias in their early stages and have not exposed their petals just yet. Therefore, with the warmth we have on the horizon, we should expect some of the Magnolia beauty.
What is next?
The Yoshino Cherry trees are very close to painting the city and the Park in white.
The past cold week delayed their progression, and you can expect them to proceed to their following stages in the upcoming week.
Callery Pears are in the same situation and thankfully didn’t bloom to meet the freezing temperatures. However, the upcoming warm days will do their magic, and you can expect them to bloom within a few days to a week.
Eastern Redbud trees already have pretty tiny buds, and they should bloom with their little flowers by mid-April.
