🌸 UPDATE 🌸

It won’t be long! These photographs (taken today) show that some cherry blossom trees are starting to bloom. The grove of trees near Peden Stadium seem to be a little ahead of the trees nearer the Convocation Center.

Follow .university and check out their dedicated webpage, OHIO.EDU/CHERRY-BLOSSOMS, for further updates on the status of these beautiful trees.
