Sakura in Tokyo

Hi,

I saw my friend posting a sakura tree is blooming now in Shinjuku Gyeon National Park but it seemed to be early according to the forecast. Anyone can explain this?
I'm going to Japan for Sakura in the early of April.

Thank you so much.

Very simple reason no worry.
Just saw early blooming[早咲き hayazaki] one different species.
This is official park report and said now blooming Kanzakura and Kawazuzakura.

Will be "full blooming[満開(peak)]" some(3-5) days later usual
but depends on weather conditions not flat this simulator also simple for understanding.

However, not exactly still too early so watch blooming reports carefully.

つぼみ(tsubomi) : bud 五分咲き(gobu-zaki) : about 50%/half blooming
Full blooming are only about 3-7 days short be careful
but depens on tree numbers and location sunny side or not and ground level.
