Bloom Time is Now on the Fresno Blossom Trail

By , About.com GuideFebruary 29, 2012

Follow me on:

California's central valley bursts with color every spring as the peach, apricot and almond orchards come into bloom.

We took a day off this week to check this year's blossoms and now is the time to think about going. Few unopened buds remain and petals haven't yet started to fall.

Our Fresno Blossom Trail Guide has all the information and you can get a preview from where you're sitting right now, just take the Fresno Blossom Trail photo tour.

While checking out the Fresno Blossom trail, go to Simonian Farms. It’s a 4th generation farm with tons of unique specialty nuts and raisins. Also the CSU Fresno farm store has awesome wine and products made by the students in the agricultural department.

Me and my bf went to Fresno last weekend inspired by this article. All we could see was almost naked trees with unopened buds, and even their heights were very short(I think farmers cut the branches a lot).
I’d rather recommend others to stay in the city and go to the parks, well, at least for this year. We were very disappointed.
