Why Choose the Kwanzan Cherry Tree?
The Kwanzan Cherry Tree is one of many varieties of cherry tree whose blossoms are prized. They can be identified by its bright pink, fluffy, double flowers held in pendant clusters.
These flowers emerge before the leaves come out, which are lovely in their own right. The summer brings the muted green leaves to the front, which are tinged with pink along their veins. They have large, wart-like glands on the petiole (the joint stalk of the leaf to the stem) which resemble spider eyes.
How to Care for the Kwanzan Cherry Tree
Kwanzan Cherry Tree has a vase-like shape when young, and as it matures it grows into a rounded shape with stiffly ascending branches helping it spread almost as wide as it grows high. The magnificent sprawl of its fluffy, fragrant flowers is something to consider when planting in your yard or garden.
This tree is well worth being a part of your garden scape because its heavenly blossoms simply cannot be missed.

How To Grow
How to Grow and Care for Bare Root Trees
Bare root trees are shipped dormant without soil, making them lightweight, cost-effective, and easy to plant during the cool months of early spring or fall. To begin, soak the roots in a bucket of water for 4–6 hours before planting to rehydrate them. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil and ample space for the tree’s mature size.
Dig a hole twice as wide as the spread of the roots and deep enough to keep the root flare (where the roots begin to spread from the trunk) at or slightly above ground level. Create a small mound of soil in the center of the hole, spread the roots evenly over it, backfill with native soil, and gently tamp down to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting.
Keep the soil consistently moist (not soggy) during the first growing season, and apply mulch around the base—avoiding direct contact with the trunk—to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Stake the tree if necessary, and prune only to remove dead or damaged branches. With proper care, your bare root tree will establish quickly and grow strong for years to come.
