Flowering Cherry Trees

Higan Cherry Tree - Height: 20-35ft, Width: 15-30ft. Bloom Time: Spring. Higan, or ‘Autumnalis’ is a deciduous fruit tree that has a long season of interest opening ½” blossoms that are pale pink to white in color along with black, pea-sized fruit. Showy flowers and fruit attract birds. Its small size and low maintenance nature makes it an ideal ornamental tree for beds and borders, as well as small gardens. Little pruning necessary to maintain form. Plant in moist, well-drained soil with full sun to part shade. 

Kwanzan Cherry - Height: 25-30 ft, Width: 15-20 ft. Interest: Showy double-pink spring blooms. ‘Kwanzan’ Cherry is a striking ornamental tree with bright, double-pink flowers in spring that create a dramatic display. Its vase-shaped growth and smooth bark add structure and elegance to landscapes. Plant in full sun with well-draining soil. Water regularly during the first year. Minimal pruning is needed to remove dead or crossing branches.

Pink Weeping Cherry Tree - Height: 15-20ft, Width: 15-20ft. Bloom Time: Early Spring. Single, bright pink flowers cluster along draping branches in early spring which are a magnet for pollinators. Black, pea-sized fruit, although inedible for humans, are adored by birds. The seeds are attractive to birds and squirrels. The Pink Weeping Cherry Trees will have a similar shape to the white ones, but will get some branches that will grow more vertical, which is why they are taller. These few vertical branches can be pruned to give the more ‘umbrella’ shape, if desired. Pink weeping cherry trees thrive in full sun—at least six hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight per day—but can also grow in partial shade. However, the greater the amount of shade, the less profuse the blooms in spring.

Snow Fountain Weeping Cherry Tree - Height: 6-8ft, Width: 6-8ft. Bloom Time: Late April. Increasingly popular with such a heavy late April bloom that it nearly obscures the plant!! A great form that a landscape just loves. Snow Fountain cherries prefer moist, moderately fertile, well-draining loam with full sun exposure, although they will tolerate light shade.

Weeping Snow Fountain Low Graft Cherry - Height: 10-12 ft, Width: 12-15 ft. Interest: Cascading white spring flowers in a weeping form. ‘Weeping Snow’ Cherry is a graceful, low-grafted weeping tree with cascading white blooms in spring. Its fountain-like branches create a delicate, romantic effect in gardens, patios, or near water features. Plant in full sun with well-draining soil. Water consistently during the first year to establish roots. Prune lightly to maintain shape and remove deadwood.
