Kwanzan or Kanzan Flowering Cherry is one of the most popular and showiest of the ornamental, fruitless cherry trees. With its stunning pink blossoms, excellent fall color, and year-round interest, it’s easy to see why it is the perfect addition to any California landscape. Its unique vase-shaped growth habit and size make it a beautiful shade or accent tree. When grouped together or lining a walkway or driveway, Kwanzan Flowering Cherry trees offer a magnificent scene.
Prunus serrulata ‘Kwanzan’, also known as ‘Sekiyama’ or Japanese flowering cherry, is a moderately growing deciduous tree that reaches 20 to 25 ft. tall and wide. In spring, a profusion of lightly fragrant, pink double flowers appear in heavy, pendulous clusters of 3 to 5. Tender, reddish-bronze leaves emerge in spring, maturing into a glossy dark green by summer. In fall, the flowering cherry puts on a spectacular display of orange, red, and bronze foliage. Under optimal conditions, 'Kwanzan' grows 1 to 2 feet per year.
