GENERAL INFORMATION
- A cherry blossom is a flower of many trees of genus Prunus.
- The most well-known species is the Japanese cherry, Prunus serrulata, which is commonly called sakura (桜 or 櫻; さくら).
- They are widely distributed, especially in the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere including Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Mainland China, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Myanmar, Thailand, and West Siberia.
- Along with the chrysanthemum,[citation needed] the cherry blossom is considered the national flower of Japan.
- All varieties of cherry blossom trees produce small, unpalatable fruit or edible cherries.
- Edible cherries generally come from cultivars of the related species Prunus avium and Prunus cerasus.
- The Cherry Blossom Tree is a medium-sized flowering spectacle, reaching between 40 and 50 feet tall.
- Minimal pruning is needed for this cultivar, which naturally produces a rounded shape.
- The Cherry Blossom Tree exhibits a moderate growth rate, ranging between 2 and 4 feet a year.
SOIL REQUIREMENT
- Plant in well-drained, moist soil that is not overly wet.
- Although adaptable to many soil types, Cherry Blossom Trees prefer acidic soils.

- Applying a low-nitrogen fertilizer such as 5-10-10 in early spring, about a month before bloom.
