Hi there, it's generally always a good idea to have your soil tested to know what it might be lacking. If you notice your plant isn't putting on a normal amount of growth or lacking nice leaf color, you might consider using a 10-10-10 All Purpose fertilizer -- which is great for all landscape plants. We like Maxlawn All Purpose Fertilizer (www.naturehills.com/maxlawn-all-purpose-fertilizer) or Dr. Earth Life Organic and Natural All Purpose Fertilizer (www.naturehills.com/dr-earth-life-all-purpose-fertilizer) if you'd like an organic option. I hope this helps:) - Whit
My flowering cherry is about 20+ years old and showing a lot of dead branches but still blooming beautifully. If it dies, can I cut it down and dig the roots out and replant another in the same spot with amended soil? Or should I move sideways to avoid the same spot?
Hi Zach! This is an interesting question. With most other trees, we'd say go ahead and plant in the same spot as the old tree. However, should you need to replace your flowering cherry, we suggest picking a new spot if you can -- this limits potential root rot, canker, and root galls the older tree might have left behind that could immediately infect a new young tree. This is a good rule of thumb for all trees in the Prunus family. There's no need to amend the soil, a nice 3-4 inch layer of mulch will keep the plant happy and stress-free. We hope this helps!
@@Naturehills thanks for the quick reply. I sort of felt what you suggested would be the case for the same reasons. It is not in a big yard and I can move it some sideways, but only 4 feet.
Do you think any Cherry would grow ok in Colorado, and bloom? It's zone 5 but it gets in the 60's in Mid March but also below freezing until first or second week in April. Hot summer sun. I heard they were an early bloomer?
Hi there Chazz, Flowering Cherry Trees are usually hardy to zone 5 under normal conditions but you're right to be wary of the temp swings Colorado experiences in the early spring! If there are a few warm days in a row, it might entice those flower buds to develop, which a late frost would then take out. Some plants are better at recovering after frosts than others but we suggest contacting your local extension office to see what they recommend for flowering cherries. They will have the best idea of what has a history of performing well in your immediate area. If they don't have any suggestions, consider asking about crabapple varieties as there are some hardy to zone 4 (one zone hardier). They'll have great spring flower displays and, since many are hardy to zone 4, would be less likely to have a frost take their blooms out. We hope this helps! -Whit
I am interested in this answer as well. I am in central florida and really wanting to plant these! Anyone had success planting these beautiful trees in Florida? Please say yes!
Hello.. don't understand much about trees unfortunately. But we bought a home. And I would love to have a cherry blossom tree. 🌸 I'm in Dallas Tx. Do you think this kind of trees can make it if so which one would you recommend?
Hi Yuri, Dallas sits squarely in zone 8 so growing flowering cherry trees is very doable! Some of our favorite zone 8 flower cherries are Yoshino (www.naturehills.com/yoshino-flowering-cherry), Kwanzan (www.naturehills.com/kwanzan-flowering-cherry), and Shirofugen (www.naturehills.com/shirofugen-flowering-cherry). In your warm climate, you'll want to water often until your plant is established and perhaps add additional water during dry spells. We hope this helps! -Whit
@@Naturehills Do you think the #1 tree mentioned on the video would work for us? Does it have a good chance or shoudl I go for the #3 tree? Yoshino* thank you again. How long does it take the tree to grow ?
@@yuri2441 a #1 will work just fine, but we suggest going with the #3 as it'll give you at least a year headstart on growth. As for how long it'll take to grow, these trees tend to really take off after about 3 years in the ground (as long as they're being properly watered) and will look to be their mature height around the 10-year mark. Thanks for thinking of us and happy planting! -Whit
Any flowering tree can attract bees, butterflies, and yes, yellow jackets/wasps when flowering. However, the flowers only last about a week in the spring and fall. -Whit
@@Naturehills Thank you! we currently have a brandon pear on our front and it keeps attracting yellow jackets over the summer... I am looking at something to replace that tree.
I think it depends on the breed. I just got a Kwanzan Cherry Blossom tree . Most web sites say that breed lives for about 20 years. When you buy your cherry blossom tree you can Google the name of your breed for more information.

Hi Matt, we asked one of our horticulturalists. "Plants that are healthy and vigorous and stress free are able to ward off problems. Plant Kwanzan Cherry trees in full sun. They also need well-drained soil. When planting, be sure not to plant it too deep in the soil. Look for the original soil line on the plant and match it with the new planting hole. Place 2-3" of mulch around the base to eliminate the grass -- but make sure mulch doesn't touch up against the trunk. Once the plant is established, additional water should be added only as the soil begins to dry. Keeping the plant stress free is the key. Plants under stress become more susceptible to insect and disease pressure." Check out more care tips here: www.naturehills.com/blog/post/care-tips-small-ornamental-trees/
@@Naturehills thanks I've babied mine since i planted it in the mid-90s. I've properly pruned it with no large scars but since the polar vortex bout 5 years ago froze out a third of its canopy it has been declining ever since. Before the freeze damage it was a perfect specimen that even an arborist would complement. I now see fungus growing on healthy branches I've sterilized my tools from the beginning taking great care not to give it a disease. It has to be old age i know their at high risk for diseases so I've been very careful i guess its time to take it down late frost and freezes have kept it from blooming for some time now so what's the point lol. Thanks for taking the time to respond!
My grandmother has a cherry tree in her front yard, it’s beautiful.

Hi Nature Hills, I'm not worried about shipping cause I travel to the US. But what cherry blossom tree would you suggest for here in Panamá 🇵🇦
I'm sorry, we don't supply any cherry blossom trees that would thrive in Panama. The warmest zone would be rated in Zone 9 for the Okame Cherry Tree.
Will this grow in Saskatchewan Canada?
I am from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 i want to buy a cherry blossoms but don’t know how can i buy it..
Do these match the shade of pink guava. It is a light pink shade.
Each variety is a bit different. All beautiful, though!
I have a Okame tree in my backyard i think
How long does these trees live ?? And are they grafted??
I think it depends on the breed. I just got a Kwanzan Cherry Blossom tree . Most web sites say that breed lives for about 20 years. When you buy your cherry blossom tree you can Google the name of your breed for more information.
My Yoshino has shot hole disease - does anyone know how best to deal with that? I only planted it two months ago.

Dose anyone knows if this tree can be grown on Puerto Rico? I don't understand the terms of the zones
Puerto Rico seems like a great place to grow them, since the temp is warm there!
Will it grow in India Odisha?
