Hi sf! Really just depends upon the weather. One storm, high heat or frost and they're gone. With sunny, pleasant weather they can last 2 weeks. Peak is usually 4-5 days, but its still pretty both before and after peak which I think is 70% bloom. Its also pretty jammed packed. Go early am to avoid the massive crowds & dont drive anywhere near it. Also there are some neighborhoods that have cherry blossoms that while crowded its not as bad.
