The Kwanzan Flowering Cherry (Prunus serrulata ‘Kwanzan’) is a beloved ornamental cherry tree renowned for its spectacular double-pink blossoms that blanket the branches each spring. Its large, fluffy flowers resemble clusters of pink carnations, creating one of the most dramatic floral displays of any cherry variety. Blooming in mid to late spring, usually after Yoshino cherry trees, Kwanzan offers extended seasonal interest with bronze new leaves that mature to glossy green and turn vibrant shades of orange and gold in fall. This upright, vase-shaped tree reaches 15–25 feet tall and 10–20 feet wide, making it a striking focal point in landscapes, gardens, or along streets. Best grown in full sun and well-drained soil, the Kwanzan Cherry is prized for its beauty, moderate growth rate, and ability to bring a show-stopping burst of color and elegance to any spring setting.
