Prunus

There is no better way to welcome spring than with flowering cherry trees! Whether planted in rows to create never-ending clouds of gorgeous blossoms, or in solitary plantings for a stunning front yard showpiece, flowering cherries are beloved all over the country and a sure sign of the spring season.

They prefer full to partial sun, and adapt to heat and can be used in hot, dry areas of the landscape. Well-drained soil is preferable, but they will adapt to most soils, including clay. If you are looking to attract birds and wildlife to your landscape, look no further. The characteristics that make this species so visually appealing – showy flowers, stunning fruit, winter color – are some of nature’s most powerful draws for the animal kingdom.

To plant bare root perennials, dig a hole large enough to encompass the roots without bending or circling. Set the plant in place so the crown (part of the plant where the root meets the stem) is about 1-2” below the soil surface. Cover with soil to the original soil surface and water thoroughly.

Supplied as 12-18” bare root.
