The Prunus Kanzan Japanese Flowering Cherry Tree, standing 5-6ft tall, has been a popular addition to gardens for many years. This stunning tree is ready for planting in a 7.5-litre pot, ensuring it has ample space to grow and flourish. The Prudential Company of Japan introduced the Prunus Kanzan in 1974, and it quickly gained recognition for its exceptional cherry blossom display.
The Prunus Kanzan's buds fill with vibrant pink blossoms, which gradually turn into clusters of white blossoms. The petals fall early, revealing the inner bark, which turns pinkish-red in color. This stunning transformation occurs in mid-April to early May, depending on the local climate. The Prunus Kanzan's early flush of pink wood marks the beginning of spring, making it an ideal choice for adding color and excitement to your outdoor space.
The Prunus Kanzan's well-spaced branches spread out, creating a natural, airy appearance, making it an excellent choice for solo plantings or as a companion to other tree species in groups. When properly pruned, the Prunus Kanzan can live for over 40 years, making it a worthwhile addition to any garden.
To maintain the Prunus Kanzan's health and appearance, make sure to water it thoroughly when first planted and prune it at the end of winter to encourage new growth for the upcoming season. With proper care, the Prunus Kanzan will reward you with its stunning cherry blossoms and enduring presence in your garden.
