Walking Tour
Experience what makes Greenport so special during the blooming season on a self-guided walking tour through streets lined with varying species of Cherry Blossom trees.
Kwanzan Cherry Trees (Prunus serrulata ‘Kanzan’) are ornamental flowering cherries known for their dense clusters of double pink blossoms that appear in mid to late spring. The flowers often look like soft, frilly pom‑poms and can completely cover the branches. These trees have a vase-shaped form when young, maturing into a broad, rounded canopy that provides a strong visual focal point along streets and in parks. Their leaves emerge bronze, turn deep green in summer, and then shift to warm yellow‑orange tones in fall, adding multi-season interest to Greenport’s streetscapes.
Pear Trees are graceful fruit trees known for their white spring blossoms and sweet, bell-shaped fruit. They have smooth, oval leaves that turn golden in fall, and their upright, rounded form makes them a charming feature in both home gardens and streetscapes.
Okame Cherry Trees are early-blooming ornamental cherries known for their vivid pink, bell-shaped flowers that appear in late winter to early spring. Their blossoms cover the bare branches, creating a bright splash of color before most other trees leaf out. With a narrow, upright shape and reddish-brown bark, Okame cherries add striking four-season interest to streets and parks.
Oshino Cherry Trees are iconic flowering cherries celebrated for their clouds of pale pink to white blossoms that appear in early spring. The fragrant flowers bloom in clusters along graceful, spreading branches, creating a soft, airy canopy. With glossy green summer leaves that turn yellow in fall, Yoshino cherries offer beautiful, season-long interest in parks, streetscapes, and gardens.
Crabapple Trees are small ornamental trees valued for their showy spring blossoms and colorful, berry-like fruit. In spring, branches are covered with white, pink, or red flowers, followed by clusters of small apples that attract birds and wildlife. With dense foliage that turns warm shades in fall, crabapples add year‑round beauty and seasonal interest to streets and gardens.
Snow Goose Cherry Trees are compact ornamental cherries prized for their pure white spring blossoms that cover the branches in early to mid-spring. The single, delicate flowers appear before or with the fresh green leaves, creating a bright, snowy effect. With a neat, upright form and attractive bark, Snow Goose cherries bring elegant, four-season interest to streets, parks, and small gardens.
