A data set containing historical data for the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
Format
A data frame with five column variables:
- date
date of bloom status
- alt
string of full genus and species tree name
- tree
string of tree species
- id
string of unique integer ID
- bloom
string of one of four bloom states: "Prebloom", "First Bloom", "Peak Bloom", "Post-Peak Bloom"
Details
The data serves as an archive for the more visual map of the cherry blossom trees that the official website shows.
Note: data pulled from 2024 and earlier are retroactively pulled using a snapshot from https://archive.org, so data is only available based on whether someone saved the page (i.e., there can be missing data).
