2009 Cherry & Apple Blossom Update
The Cherry blossoms are expected to bloom in mid to late May, with blossoms first popping up on trees in the southern portions of the peninsula, then slowly moving to the orchards of northern Door County.
Apple blossoms should be starting in late May, again in Southern Door first, and moving northward during the mid to later parts of May.
