Mumbai's Own Cherry Blossom: Pink Trumpet Trees Transform Cityscapes

• Mumbai boasts its own version of cherry blossoms with Pink Trumpet Trees (Tabebuia Heterophylla) blooming across the city.
• The Vikhroli stretch of the Eastern Express Highway, particularly between Ghatkopar and Vikhroli near Godrej, is a prime location to witness these pink blooms.
• Unlike traditional cherry blossoms, these trees are low-maintenance and require minimal water, making them ideal for Mumbai's urban environment.
• Other notable spots to see Pink Trumpet Trees include Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, Borivali Gorai road, Lion Gate in Fort, Bombay Stock Exchange, Rani Baug, and Mahim Nature Park.
• Despite the beauty, concerns have been raised about visitors damaging trees by plucking flowers and blocking footpaths for photos.

Why It Matters: Mumbai offers stunning pink blooms from Tabebuia Heterophylla trees, creating a cherry blossom-like experience.
