Cherry Trees are in bloom in many places in the Comox Valley

By Keith and Heather Nicol

Vancouver and Victoria are well known for their cherry trees in bloom in the spring and although the Comox Valley does not have the number of trees of these bigger centres they do have some trees worth checking out. One of our favourite streets to view every spring is Anna Place which not only has many well established trees in bloom lining the street but it also has a superb view of the Comox Glacier as you can see in the picture below. Another tree that is very impressive is at the intersection of 14^th and Cumberland in Courtenay. It is also one of the nominated trees for Tree of the Year for 2024 (an event run by Comox Valley Nature). So be sure to check it out! If readers have other favourite cherry trees in the Comox Valley let us know where they are.
