Holy Cow – Cherry Blossoms Bloomings Dec. 22nd!?!?
Hard to tell from the photo but I believe it! A reader took the shot above on Connecticut Ave near the zoo. Today is also set for a balmy 52 degrees. Anyone else see trees blooming? Of course, this probably isn’t a good thing. Will this affect their normal spring blooms?

Question to residents - thank you in advance. I am considering purchasing a 1st level...

Thank you for this, I had no idea about this type of thing. It also makes me think that...
I have a couple of bushes (don’t know what kind they are) in my backyard that have new buds or blooms on them. Very strange.
Climate change is real. When will the world stop pumping CO2 and HFCs into the atmosphere. Santa must do something soon!
Unfortunately, it’s this kind of dogmatic and ignorant comment that makes climate change science such an easy target for the tiny buy vocal minority of uninformed anti-climate change fanatics. One year of unusually temperate weather is just that. Or have you forgotten snowmageddon from 2 years back? Climate Change is real, but barking out uninformed sound bytes does not help the cause.
Seriously, MJ? Come on now.
But it goes both ways. “Snowmageddon” was possibly caused by climate change, as well.
I have daffodils and tulips coming up…of course, they will be killed in 2-3 weeks when we drop below freezing again.
Your bulbs will be fine – this time of year you’ll see the leaves of bulbs growing. They’ll die back with a hard frost and then the flower stalks will come up in spring.
There are blossoms on a tree next to the gas station at 14 th and Euclid
I noticed a little cherry blossom tree blooming yesterday too!! at 15th and U. bizarre.
Haven’t seen cherry blossoms, but my mom was surprised by how many roses were blooming in my neighborhood when she visited last weekend.
My daffodils and tulips are starting to poke through the ground too.
Not too unusual… There are some varieties of autumn blooming cherry trees that will bloom into December if the weather is mild enough.
Anyone else notice Melancholia getting closer?
Before people get too wound up, I would like to point out that there is a variety of cherry tree that blooms in the falll. See the link below. http://www.gardenality.com/Plants/66/Trees/Autumn-Flowering-Cherry.html
There is a small tree with some pretty little pink blossoms at the Wyoming building on Colombia Road right before it runs into Connecticut Avenue.
The one at the BP Station (yes, really) on 14th and Euclid is in almost full bloom too.
The cherry blossom trees in our back yard have been flowering for nearly a month now. I’ve lived in this area 30+ years and I’ve never seen cherry trees blossoming in November/December.
This summer was the warmest ever recorded, and this ‘winter’ has been abnormally warm. There is a very real chance that we might not even have a real winter this year. The forecast is for unseasonable warmth through at least Jan 1.
Quince bush on the park side of 800 Gallatin St NW has been putting out some blossoms over last few weeks. They are more usually out in mid-to-late spring.
We live next to these trees at the Zoo and they bloom frequently during winter/odd times–not the same variety as the sprring-blooming Mall ones.
