Description

The Japanese Kwanzan Cherry Tree is beloved for its light pink flowers in early spring that look like sweet peonies!

With fully double flowers, the Kwanzan Flowering Cherry Tree lights up the landscape and puts out loads of beautiful blooms for all to enjoy. In the early spring months, clusters of pink flowers will explode all over this tree’s branches. The pink blooms have 2 layers of petals that give them a showy 3D appearance and last for weeks at a time.

The Prunus serrulata Kwanzan Cherry Blossom tree is known for being interesting through all 4 seasons of the tree. The flowering tree has dark green leaves through the spring and summer growing seasons. As soon as temperatures start to drop in your area you will notice the Kwanzan cherry tree leaves turn to a flaming fall color. The green leaves turn to shades of a bronze color with red overtones to signal the start of fall and winter.

Plant this tree where the deep pink double blossoms can be enjoyed. It is an excellent choice as a street tree in your landscape, planted in groups of 3-4, or planted near flower beds where the shade can be relished. You can see these beautiful trees shown off every year at the annual cherry blossom festival in Washington, DC.
