Sunlight The Kwanzan thrives in full sun (at least six hours of sunlight daily).
Watering Water your tree when the top 2 inches of soil dries. Generally, a slow trickle with a garden hose for about 10 minutes is ideal.
Fertilizing After the first two years, apply 1/10 pound of actual nitrogen per year for each year of the tree’s age, with a maximum of 1 pound per year. Apply it once in the spring, or spread the nitrogen into two to four equal applications over the spring and summer.

Hardiest Cherry Blooms Welcome Spring
Why Kwanzan Cherry Trees?
The hardiest of the Cherry Tree family, the Kwanzan heightens springtime each year, welcoming the new season with unmatched color. In fact, it's also the showiest of all Cherry Trees. And its flowers aren't just pink...but double pink, meaning that you get twice the petals and twice the blooms of other trees.
Your new Kwanzan Cherry Tree blooms in huge clusters of 3 to 5 flowers. These clusters are the thickest of all pink trees and resemble carnations in hue and volume.
Kwanzans begin to bloom in April, with full florals that can last weeks at a time. In the fall, golden autumn leaves take hold, captivating neighbors and guests alike. Basically, the Kwanzan offers four seasons of visual interest, giving you the best yard on the block.
And it's one of the easiest flowering trees to grow! The Kwanzan Cherry thrives in almost any soil and climate, so you don't have to spend hours in your garden spraying, fertilizing and pruning. When it comes to the Kwanzan, there's no guesswork in growing.

Planting & Care
1. Planting: Kwanzans grow best in moist, well-drained soil and full to partial sun (at least 4 hours of sunlight daily).
Dig your hole just as deep and twice as wide as the root ball. Leave a small mound of dirt in the center of the hole to set the root ball on and carefully spread the roots in the hole. Backfill your hole, place your tree, and water the surrounding area. Do not cover the crown with the soil...only cover the roots. Finally, spread mulch over the surrounding soil to conserve moisture.
2. Watering: Water your tree when the top 2 inches of soil dries (a slow trickle with a garden hose for about 10 minutes is recommended).
3. Fertilizing: Flowering Cherries will not require fertilizer for the first two years. After that, apply 1/10 pound of actual nitrogen per year for each year of the tree’s age, with a maximum of 1 pound per year. Apply it once in the spring, or spread the nitrogen into 2 to 4 equal applications over the spring and summer.
4. Pruning: Removal of the current year’s old, faded flowers and fruit clusters will promote flower buds for the following season. Prune the tree during in winter to remove dead or damaged branches.

United StatesWe ordered 3 trees from Fast Growing Trees. All arrived in the excellent condition, except the Kwanzan Cherry...but the box was crushed on the end and broke open. I sent a picture and explanation to Fast Growing Trees and received a response the next day that the tree would be replaced. Within 3 days, I received notice the replacement tree had shipped. I could not have been more pleased with FastGrowingTrees.com customer service! These were a wedding and new home gift to our daughter...they are now planted in their new yard and we look forward to the years of growth and beauty. We will definitely use this company again and recommend them to everyone we know who is interested in trees/bushes/ shrubs and plants. Thank you FastGrowingTrees.com Sincerely Kim
United StatesThis is our second tree. We bought one in early spring but it died ( my suspicion is it took longer than normal in transport so when it got to us it was very stressed). Fast Growing Trees was great with the issue. Customer service was responsive and gave us store credit for the full amount so we repurchased it and this one looks healthier and has grown new sprouts already.
United StatesDoing great. New leaves coming out.
United StatesLooks like it will grow in Austin Texas. Was worried since November 2020 and leaves started sprouting just this June 2021. Beautiful healthy tree. So thrilled. Can’t wait to see the Spring blossoms.
United StatesThe tree arrived on time and looks great. Hopefully, it grows into a beautiful tree and can provide years of beautiful color for my family.
