又逢4月,再度迎来一年一度的赏樱时节,气温回升,春光明媚,满眼的白色或粉色的樱花海洋,春的气息迎面扑来。作为纽约地区数一数二的赏樱地点,中央公园的樱花主要是吉野樱和关山樱两个品种,既有大簇饱满的关山樱,又有轻如飞絮的吉野樱。吉野樱花树于1912年作为礼物从日本带到美国。这种杂交樱桃树高可达35到45英尺,长出的花朵为浅粉色,接近白色,并散发出阵阵香气。关山樱花树花朵是双瓣粉色的,通常五月初在吉野樱花开放之后开始开花。但两个品种的樱花都是边开边落的,从开始绽放到凋零只有短短的两个星期。
中央公园的樱花树可以在72街和96街之间的水库(Reservoir,)、樱桃山(Cherry Hill)、朝圣者山(Pilgrim Hill)、大草坪(Great Lawn)、雪松山(Cedar Hill)以及雪松山以南74街和77街之间的区域找到。樱花的花期视乎天气情况而定,每年四月中旬到五月初,中央公园内种植的吉野樱和关山樱都会按时绽放,为游客和纽约客展现浪漫无比的景象。
从中央公园南门进入,首先看到的是盛开的玉兰花和郁金香,接下来才是樱花。园内的数百棵樱花树竞相盛开,灿烂无比。

最喜欢的是朝圣者山(Pilgrim Hill)的樱花树,高可达35到45英尺,长出的花朵为浅粉色,此时已经盛开。这里有个雕像纪念1620年搭乘五月花来的英国清教徒移民先祖(Pilgrim fathers),配合着灿烂的樱花树,非常漂亮。
