Prunus serrulata are double-blossoming, deep pink flowering ornamental cherry trees that grow about 2 ft per year and live to 15-25 years old. These vase-shaped, graceful lovely looking trees grow up to 40 ft tall, with an equal spread. If planting in rows, space trees 15 ft apart.

Japanese flowering cherry leaves change colors throughout the seasons! They require little maintenance. Kwanzan trees are resistant to both deer and insects.

These make for great bonsai trees as well.

Planting Tips:
Grows well in loam, sand and clay. Pruning is not necessary unless removing a damaged limb. Fertilize once a year in spring with cherry tree fertilizer.

Germination Procedure: Cold stratify seeds in the freezer 3 months prior to sowing. Sow seeds 1/4 an inch deep. Keep seeds and soil moist throughout the germination phase.
