View prices and availability
Is one of the best known and most used Japanese ornamental cherry trees. It forms a broad vase-shaped crown that droops somewhat with overhanging branches when older. Height 8 - 10 m, width 5 - 8 m. The smooth bark is brownish-green, twigs reddish-brown. The young leaves are bronze coloured and emerge at the same time as the flowers. In the summer the leaves turn dark green with a somewhat bluish-green underside. The autumn colour is yellow to orange. The elliptical leaf has a long tapered top and the leaf edge is sometimes double serrated. It flowers abundantly from late April to early May, producing double pure pink flowers. These are 3.5 - 4 cm in diameter and are grouped in dense bunches of 2 - 5 together. 'Kanzan' seldom produces fruit. For parks, public gardens avenues and streets. It does not stand up to wet soil.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2024.
