Description
Prunus serrulata ‘Kwanzan’ (Flowering Cherry) is a deciduous, flowering ornamental tree prized for its profuse, double pink spring blossoms. This spring-flowering cherry develops a broad, vase-shaped to rounded canopy, typically reaching 30–40 feet tall and wide, creating a graceful focal point in the landscape.
In mid to late spring, clusters of large, carnation-like, deep pink double flowers blanket the bare branches before the foliage fully emerges. The blooms are showy and long-lasting, attracting pollinators and creating a dramatic seasonal display. New foliage emerges bronze-tinged, maturing to rich green through summer. In fall, leaves transition to warm shades of golden orange and copper, providing notable seasonal color before dropping. Fruit is typically inconspicuous and not ornamental.
Ideal as a specimen tree, along driveways, or in lawn settings, Prunus serrulata ‘Kwanzan’ delivers classic spring beauty, seasonal interest, and elegant structure to residential and commercial landscapes.
