Blossom bonanza: Cherry trees paint TSP pink

The cherry blossoms are really popping these days in and around Tompkins Square Park...
... with at least one exception. An EVG reader notes the cherry tree on the north side of the Eighth Street entrance along Avenue B isn't looking so good...
Per the reader, "The cherry tree on the south side of the Eighth Street entrance is in bloom, and I remember years of walking through the entrance flanked by the two lovely cherry blossom trees. Now, the north side tree is bare. I tried to find a parks employee to ask, but I wasn’t able to find anyone."

    What?! A dead tree in TSP?!
    Gee, that's unusual. That never happens. Trees have always been well taken care of there.

    Is that enough sarcasm?

    Yes, those two cherry trees were some of our favorites, and we noticed last spring that the north side tree seemed dead, we were hoping it was maybe just having a bad year, but it didn't come back again this year. Sad,
