Where to find cherry blossom dates for Stockholm
It's the beginning of April, and the cherry trees will soon bloom in Stickholm, one of the most famous locations for this event being the King's Garden (Körsbärsblom i Kungsträdgården).
I live abroad (France), and I would like to find forecasts, or at least some online resource which will indicate when the bloom has started (so that I could book a trip a few days later).
I understand a little bit of Swedish, so I can clumsily navigate Swedish websites, but I couldn't find such resources. The japanexperterna.se website contains cherry tree bloom forecasts, but only seems to cover cities in Japan.
I also tried looking for online "live cams", but couldn't find one with cherry trees in the field of view.
Is there a website that I could regularly check which would give approximate forecasts, or at least indicate when the cherry tree bloom in Stockholm started?
Best Answer
The official page does not contain much information about dates. But on the facebook page maintained by officials working with the park they post information continuously (in swedish).
(Cherry trees are actually a recent feature added to Kungsträdgården. The more traditional tree is the elm that was the cause of the elm conflict back in 1971.)
