The Japanese cherry trees in Kungsträdgården in Stockholm are a magnet for people when they bloom in late April/early May. The mild winter though has seen some of them already blooming. Credit: Dave Russell/Radio Sweden.
Cherry trees in central Stockholm start blossoming early due to warm winter
The mild winter so far this year has resulted in some unusual sightings in the countryside and tough times for ski slopes in the south of the country. And in Stockholm the cherry trees in the central Kungsträdgården Park are starting to blossom, about three months early.
Radio Sweden's Dave Russell went down to take a look and spoke with Didrik Vanhoenacker, a biologist at Stockholm's Natural History Museum.
