With a few days left until Rosh Chodesh Iyar 5773 here is the list of places where one could make a Bracha on a tree for Birchas ilanos 2013. The list is courtesy of Misaskim a comprehensive list of fruit trees throughout the USA and Canada. Although the list is from 2012 we can assume most of the trees should still be standing except for those that were knocked down by Hurricane Sandy. According to Poskim one may recite the Bracha even after Rosh Chodesh Iyar as long as the tree is still Blossoming.

i believe the Mishna Brura says you can say it even after Nissan, and that month was just used as an example, since it's common for trees to blossom then
