Prunus serrulata ‘Kanzan’

Prunus serrulata ‘Kanzan’ is probably one of the most beautifully flowering trees, with densely clustered pink flowers in April and May. This cultivar is one of the last of the Japanese ornamental cherries to bloom. It is likely one of the most beautiful flowering trees, with densely clustered pink flowers from April through May.

In its early years, the tree grows in a narrower, upright form. As it matures, the tree develops a broader, vase-shaped crown, which becomes more spreading with age.

It’s a beautiful tree to plant along streets with wider green shoulders, green belts, or in parks. In larger gardens, you’ll occasionally see some truly beautiful specimen trees. The leaves are a fresh green, elliptical in shape with a tapered tip—an ornamental leaf that turns a beautiful orange in the fall.

We mainly grow this cultivar as a standard tree, but it can also be grown as a multi-stemmed shrub. It’s an excellent tree to plant along a greenbelt or in a park.
