Kwanzan Cherry is one of the most ornamental flowering cherries, known for its stunning display of fluffy, double pink blossoms that completely cover the tree in early to mid-spring. It typically grows 25–30 feet tall with a symmetrical, vase-like canopy and bronze-tinted new foliage that matures to green and turns yellow to orange in the fall. Unlike other cherries, it doesn’t produce messy fruit, making it a cleaner option for patios and walkways. While it requires good drainage and occasional pruning, it rewards with breathtaking seasonal color and elegance. Perfect for front yards, entrances, or as a bold standalone focal point.
