Want a Burst of Spring Color?

After a long, cold winter, a splash of vibrant colors is just what your yard needs. Embrace Spring time and consider these popular Flowering Cherries. These trees produce a range of colors from bright white to deep pink and crimson leaves. Adding these rich colors to your landscape are the best way to welcome Spring with open arms—or open leaves that is.

4 Popular Flowering Cherry Trees – there’s no wrong choice

Okame Cherry – One of the earliest flowering cherries. This magnificent cherry breaks the grip of late winter with an outstanding 2-3-week display of rosy pink blossoms.

Kwanzan Cherry – The Kwanzan cherry has double pink flowers and a vase-shaped form that spreads with age, making the tree wider than it is tall at maturity.

Weeping Cherry – The tree droops towards the ground and has abundant dark pink flowers. When the flowers fall, they look like a blanket of snow.

Yoshino Cherry – Fragrant, white-pink flowers with glossy bark and dark-green leaves. In 1912, the Japanese government gave the U.S three thousand Yoshino cherry trees. This gift was the beginning of the now famous National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington D.C.

Planning, Planting & Ensuring Success

Flowering Cherries are good for defining property lines, borders and as a focal point in your yard or landscape design. However, you must choose your site carefully. Mature trees can grow to a height of 20 feet. They require full sun and well drained fertile soils. Be sure to add Bio-tone Starter Plus at time of planting to improve growth and transplant survival. You can improve heavy clay or sandy soils by adding Espoma Planting Mix. Feed your established trees with Tree-tone.
