Spring has sprung in Toronto, and it’s brought with it one of the city’s most stunning natural sights: the annual cherry blossom bloom.
While we’re likely still a week or so out from the city’s most iconic Sakura trees at High Park hitting their peak bloom, there are plenty of other spots in the city that the breathtaking pink trees also call home, and some have already started to bloom.
If you just can’t wait to feast your eyes (and Instagram feed) on the springy sight, you now have the opportunity at the University of Toronto’s Robarts Library.
A delicate, sweet adornment to an otherwise imposing building at Harbord and St. George, the trees are annually among the first in the city to reveal their flowers.
Local photographer and sakura enthusiast Henry Huy has been keeping an eye out for the flowers so you don’t have to, capturing stunning images of the very first flowers to reveal themselves for the 2025 season.
We’re still in the early stages of the bloom, so the weekend ahead will prove a perfect time to check out the action, but peak bloom will likely fall around Monday, April 28.
After Robarts, you can expect to see trees blooming at spots in the city, including Trinity Bellwoods, Exhibition Place and, of course, High Park, over the coming week.
If you’re worried about timing your trip perfectly to see the blooms, don’t. Lucky for Toronto, we have resident experts like Henry and Sakura Steve keeping the city’s residents up to date on the latest developments.
