April 27 2020 - Sakura Sadness

I took a picture on Saturday of the first Niagara fruit blossoms.  There were apricot trees along Jordan Road in bloom.  Apricots are the first to bloom.  Here's the sequence: apricots peaches cherries pears plums apples The City of Toronto has warned the public that the Sakura cherry trees in High Park are officially off-limits starting April 22nd.  The fines start at $750 and go up to $5,000.  Here's the video on what we'll miss.  I don't mind saying that it looks hilarious to see all those people out freely walking about.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84anfjmLzLY You can see the Sakura Watch videos from past years on YouTube by entering the search terms 'sakura watch toronto'. That's what we'll be missing - this is a Sakura in bloom at Vineland Research Station last year.
