Kwanzan Cherry (Prunus serrulata 'Kanzan') Tree

Kwanzan Cherry (Prunus serrulata 'Kanzan'-syn. Prunus lannesiana 'Kanzan') Tree - Ornamental Flowering Trees. The typical species of the Kwanzan Cherry belongs botanically to the Rose family (Rosaceae). It is native to the Far East, specifically Japan, China, and Korea. That is where this particular, highly decorative variety came from. It is a deciduous tree, relatively small in size, whose height reaches up to about 9m. It is a plant of medium growth rate, which has an upright habit and a spherical or vase-shaped canopy. The leaves are simple, smooth, ovoid to ovoid-lanceolate in shape with serrated margins. They are green on the upper surface and softer green on the lower surface, but in autumn they take on attractive orange, golden yellow or coppery tones. The plant's particularly attractive and abundant flowering occurs from early spring and before the leaves appear. The flowers are double, bright pink at first and lighter pink later, cup-shaped and borne on a corymb inflorescence. The variety does not produce fruit. The Kwanzan Cherry is a fairly easy-to-grow tree. It can be planted in almost any soil type, as long as it has good drainage and retains the necessary moisture. It even grows in calcareous soil and can withstand very low temperatures. It is used both in gardening and landscape architecture, planted as a specimen of particular beauty, in groups and in compositions with other plants. It can make excellent tree rows, and its shade is quite dense. It is also resistant to salt spray, so it is suitable for planting in coastal areas.

► It is offered at a price determined by the particular characteristics of the tree, such as the size of the pot, its height, and age. Large trees are also available for sale (and planting) upon prior arrangement. In any case, the price or prices listed are indicative.
