Cherry Blossom Season: Passaic County Is Home To One Of NJ's Top Viewing Spots
The NJ State Botanical Gardens has one of the best views of cherry blossoms, said the state tourism department. Do you agree?
RINGWOOD, NJ — If you're looking for incredible springtime sights, Passaic County has some of the best cherry blossoms New Jersey offers, according to the state tourism division.
Visit New Jersey ranked the Garden State's top 12 cherry blossom destinations, and the state Botanical Garden in Ringwood ranked No. 4. Check out these blushing blooms around the Manor House on the property.
Cherry trees and ornamental cherry blossom trees are closely related. But the former gets planted to yield fruit, while cherry blossoms are decorative and create a springtime spectacle. The blooms usually range from white to a rich pink, but can sometimes be yellow or green according to All About Gardens.
