Kwanzan Cherry
Prunus serrulata

Kwanzan Cherry has double-pink, very attractive
flowers and is usually purchased and planted for this
reason. The upright-spreading form, reaching
15 to 25 feet tall, is quite attractive in many locations
including near a patio or as a specimen away from
lawn grass competition. The tree is glorious in flower
and has been planted along with Yoshino Cherry in
Washington, D.C., for the annual Cherry Blossom
Festival. Kwanzan Cherry has good yellow fall color,
does not bear fruit, but is troubled with pests. It
prefers full sun, is intolerant of poor drainage, and is
easily transplanted. However, useful life of the species
is limited to about 15 to 25 years for ‘Kwanzan’, on a
good site. But the tree is a joy during this short
period and should be planted.
Leaf: Alternate, simple, pinnately veined, serrated margin, lanceolate to broadly ovate, 3 to 5 inches long, shiny dark green above, light green below, petioles have obvious glands.
Flower: Very showy, most commonly deep pink, double, occur in large clumps along the stem, in early spring.
Fruit: Typically no fruit since the 'Kwanzan' variety is sterile, the species P. serrulata produces a small red cherry.
Twig: Stout, reddish brown, conspicuous lenticels, and large reddish buds.
Bark: Thin, smooth, reddish to bronze, glossy with very prominent horizontal lenticels.
Form: A small tree reaching 25 to 30 feet high and wide, usually a vase-shaped, spreading crown.
