4-12-2013 Autumnalis (most are not this open)

4-12-2013 Accolade, starting to open

As of Friday, April 12, the Accolade cherries (the pink ones between Pearce Mill Road and the boathouse) were just starting to bloom. With a few isolated exceptions, other groves were further behind. But with recent warm weather, they may catch up soon. The peak might be the week of April 15!  [As of Thursday, April 4, the buds were still quite tightly closed. As of Sunday, March 24, there were firm buds on the trees.]
