With precocious, ruffled, double pink blooms, a graceful vase-like shape and beautiful foliage, this fast-growing variety makes a bold statement.  Serrated, 4-5" leaves emerge a greenish-copper before turning a glossy, deep green in the summer and golden yellow to bronze in the fall.

Ruffled Double Pink Blooms

As one of the most prolific bloomers among flowering cherries, the Kwanzan Cherry Tree produces an abundance of large, ruffled double pink flowers, creating a lush, cloud-like canopy in early spring. These extravagant, multi-layered blossoms form in dense clusters along the branches, transforming the tree into a breathtaking spectacle of vibrant color. The sheer volume of blooms ensures a dramatic and eye-catching display, making it a standout feature in any landscape. Whether planted as a focal point or in groupings for an even more striking effect, this tree brings unmatched springtime beauty to your yard.

Graceful Vase Shape

The Kwanzan Cherry Tree naturally develops a classic vase-shaped form, creating a refined and elegant presence in any setting. With a moderate growth rate, it reaches 15 to 25 feet tall, forming an attractive, rounded silhouette that enhances gardens large and small. Its graceful branching structure makes it ideal for planting as a standalone statement tree, lining driveways and walkways, or complementing patios and outdoor living spaces. Whether used to frame an entryway or as a backdrop for flowering perennials, its balanced shape and commanding presence add year-round charm.

Vibrant Seasonal Foliage

Even after its spectacular floral display fades, the Kwanzan Cherry Tree remains an ornamental highlight throughout the seasons. When new leaves emerge, they display a striking reddish-copper hue, creating a bold contrast against the soft pink blooms. As summer arrives, the foliage deepens into a rich, glossy green, forming a lush and full canopy. As temperatures cool in fall, the leaves take on brilliant golden-yellow and bronze tones, ensuring that this tree continues to provide visual interest well beyond the spring bloom period. Whether standing alone or paired with other seasonal showstoppers, the Kwanzan Cherry Tree delivers unparalleled beauty all year long.
