Blossom Watch: March 20

Patch spotlights a tree's transformation in the Kenwood neighborhood.

For years, Kenwood in Chevy Chase has been a destination for local cherry tree watchers away from the hustle and heat of the Tidal Basin.

The neighborhood's 1,200 Yoshino cherry trees are the same kind that draw tourists each year to Washington, D.C., and each spring, the delicate pink blossoms frame the quiet subdivision's homes and streets.

Patch is stopping by each day this week to snap photos of the same cherry tree. By the end of blooming season, we'll have a time lapse photo gallery.

Tuesday, many of the trees appeared to have reached peak bloom, but a few -- including the one we're spotlighting -- still boasted plenty of buds.

You can compare the tree's bloom today with our photo from Monday.
