Kwanzan Cherry Trees can grow to be 20-30 feet tall and wide, and they have a lifespan of 20-30 years. They prefer full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Kwanzan Cherry Trees are relatively low-maintenance, but they do require regular watering, especially during the first growing season. They should also be fertilized in the spring with a balanced fertilizer.
Kwanzan Cherry Trees are typically ready to bloom in early spring, before the leaves emerge. The blooms are typically pink in color and last for about 2 weeks. After the blooms fade, the heart-shaped leaves emerge. Kwanzan Cherry Trees also produce small, red cherries in the fall.
Kwanzan Cherry Trees are a beautiful and versatile addition to any landscape. They can be planted as a single specimen tree, used in a hedge or screen, or added to a mixed border. Kwanzan Cherry Trees are also popular in bonsai.
Here are some tips for growing and caring for Kwanzan Cherry Trees:
- Plant in full sun to partial shade in well-drained soil.
- Water regularly, especially during the first growing season.
- Fertilize in the spring with a balanced fertilizer.
- Prune in the late winter or early spring to remove dead or diseased wood and to shape the tree.
- Kwanzan Cherry Trees are generally pest- and disease-resistant, but it is important to inspect the tree regularly for any signs of problems.
With proper care, Kwanzan Cherry Trees will provide you with many years of enjoyment.
Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring.
We cannot send ship some plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by department of agriculture.
