Description
Essex County Branch Brook Park has the largest and most varied collection of Japanese Flowering Cherry Blossom trees in a park within the United States, with 5,300 in 18 varieties.
Branch Brook Park Alliance provides ongoing stewardship to the renowned collection.

We encourage everyone who enjoys the experience of the season to join us in contributing. Interested in helping us grow our cherry blossom collection?
