Hailing from East Asia, the stunning cherry blossom tree flowers from late March through to May, depending on how cold or mild the weather has been.
One of the best places to see cherry blossoms is at Batsford Arboretum & Garden Centre in the Cotswolds or the RHS Garden Rosemoor in Devon.

Plum blossom also looks very similar to blackthorn but can be identified by looking at the sepals (the green buds where the petals came from). If they are folded back, it is a plum blossom and if they lay flat on the back of the petals, its a blackthorn. Look out for the pretty little flowers from the middle of March to the middle of May.
