The planting of cherry trees in Washington DC began in 1912. The project was spearheaded by Eliza Scidmore. The trees are a symbolism of friendship to the people of the United States from the people of Japan. The trees bloom different time every year but can usually be seen with flowers by the last weeks of March through the first weeks of April.
