The region is scattered with cherry orchards so some areas might see blossoms appear midway through the month of May, while others might take slightly longer. Typically, blooms are first spotted in the Acme and Williamsburg areas because trees in those areas are generally farther away from the water, thus resulting in slightly warmer temperatures for the blooms. Next, we have historically seen blossoms start down in Benzie county, followed by the southern and mid-portions of Leelanau County. As we work our way north to the fruit-growing portion of Leelanau County, the blossoms will follow with the latest blooms showing up in the Northport area and the tip of the peninsula. The trend is similar on the Old Mission Peninsula with blooms typically showing first near the southern portion and progressing as we head north towards the town of Old Mission. Wherever your journey takes you, the cherry trees in Michigan are sure to impress.
