As cherry trees come into bloom, transforming the streets around us, join us in our search for cherry trees across the UK.

Watch the video above for tips on how to identify cherry trees in spring from botanist Bob Press.

We’d like you to tell us about any cherry trees on your street, in your local park, and particularly any in your garden.

By taking part in this survey, you will help scientists understand more about cherry trees in the urban environment and how they are changing, something which relatively little is known about.
