Sale price$1,500.00

Prunus serrulata 'Kanzan', known as Kanzan Cherry or Kwanzan Cherry, is a stunning deciduous flowering tree renowned for its spectacular spring display of double pink blossoms. This Japanese-origin tree grows to a moderate size, reaching 4–8 meters in both height and width, with an upright, rounded canopy that adds graceful structure and seasonal beauty to gardens and landscapes.

Its bright green leaves turn vibrant shades of orange and red in autumn, offering additional seasonal interest beyond its famous floral show. The profusion of double pink flowers in spring creates an eye-catching focal point, making 'Kanzan' an excellent specimen tree or a charming street planting.

It performs best in full sun to part shade, adapting well to a range of soil types and climates. While it prefers consistent moisture, it tolerates drought periods once established. Low maintenance and moderate growth rate make it a reliable, beautiful choice. For added impact, plant with understorey groundcovers or early spring bulbs to extend seasonal interest.
