I planted two of these in my backyard based on your video! Thank you! They’re just starting to blossom and are so pretty.

[@CGH250]

I planted one last year and it’s grown about 1.5 feet in height already. I got some blooms this spring and they are stunning. I used to live in a 2 story colonial home that had 2 of these in the front yard that were mature and they were so gorgeous! These and the Yoshino cherry trees are my favorite! ❤️🥰

[@Fauxjob]

Stunning tree. I've learned so much from your tree videos, I find myself studying every local one to see if it is flared, you have helped me to totally invigorate two of our crape myrtles which were being choked out at the base, thanks!

[@ParaisoSensorial]

Wonderful video, dear friend. Thanks for sharing. Have a beautiful day. 💚883

[@sreykimsear]

I have this tree. It grows real fast. I've had it since 2014 when I moved into my new home. I prune mine in Boston. The canopy was so wide it was casting on my roses and azaleas. But wow, this tree was not affected at all with the pruning. Still stunning show of flowers. I also like that it flowers later in Spring while my weeping cherry blossoms and Yoshino trees flower early in Spring. Endless Spring display.

[@osands]

Beautiful tree!

[@TheGreenerLawn]

Thx for the informative vid! I had considered one of these for my park strip but they (my local nursery) told me about the shallow far reaching roots, so I passed on this tree 😢.... thanks for confirming this! I go to your videos for my landscaping questions, you have been a huge help over the past year as I have landscaped my yard. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@JimPutnam]

Every website says that it is great for containers, and for lawns, and for small spaces in sidewalks. It may work in those places for a while, but I think it would make the tree short lived.

[@1987shanellpearl]

In a lawn!!!!! Wow.....there is a few smaller trees in my neighborhood. I see why they aren't growing as big. There are right up against a wooden fence. Thank you for this video

[@abcde12345edcba]

Thanks for sharing!

[@kimberryh.9602]

Very​ beautiful.

[@Writtenodac]

Great breakdown thank u

[@abtsamroobe9633]

Great video thank you for sharing this wonderful video with us.I will buy one

[@anitahadley2871]

I have one out front but I think it's slowly dying. I love the blooms so I don't want to cut it down just yet but I know the time is coming. The trunk has a big gash in it and we are always pruning out dead limbs. I'm sad to be losing it. Yours is so gorgeous!

[@beybslifeintheus494]

Beautiful trees 🌳

[@Lorenaldzma90]

i have planted 5 in my land. i am so glad i found these. it may take a while. but i will be patient.

[@MhekayChannel]

Im going to buy 3 plant of cherry blossoms thats why im here to learn more

[@19580822]

I have one as a lone specimen in the center of my front yard here in central Georgia. Absolute stunner when in full bloom. Cars drive by then slow down and people stare at it. I can read their lips as they say "What IS that??"

[@jamesbreeden3061]

Thank you, I am planting a lot of these trees this spring.

[@JimPutnam]

Good luck with them. Thanks for watching

[@mathewgodfrey1517]

I just ordered one and would like tips on how to grow it before it arrives. I've got a sprinkler system and get a lot of sunlight on my area, so i guess my main concern is fertile soil.

[@KathyLeeParker]

Great video, thank you! I had a Kwanzan cherry in front yard that had lichen and some sort of blight or fungal growth on it. As it grew older, ants got into it and it had to come down last year. Should I think twice about planting another one in its place, due to the fungal issues? Also, I had a soil test and found out it was very acidic, around 4.2. Could the low pH have set the stage for fungal issues? I've added the amount of lime recommended to increase the pH. Should I try planting another cherry, or would you recommend another sort of tree entirely? Thank you.

[@torpa15]

Welcome to HortTube, my name is Jim Putnam and this is Kwanzan Cherry. (corrected your intro for you ;)

[@JimPutnam]

That's pretty funny. Hey, I'm mixing it up. Thanks for watching.

[@ashmay35]

Are these edible? Like Sakura? I have one in my front yard. It’s beautiful. It’s never had pesticides on it that I know of. Great info! Thank you.

[@mgondek]

I have had one for 10 years and it is the same same size about 8ft x 5 ft. Has had white fungus especially where branches fork, and spraying copper did not help much. Got rid of that with pressure washer last fall at a distance to not damage bark, sounds crazy but worked great. My wife put tall bearded iris at the base, which after watching your video will move Iris in the fall. I am in zone 5, can anyone offer any more suggestions. Does fungus stun growth of trees as had to prune some limbs and they had the most fungus.

[@CTYankee66]

Thank you Jim! I'm new to gardening and I love your channel. I received and planted two Okame Cherry trees this spring. Can you give me some advice on their care. They were in 7 gallon containers and about 6 feet tall when planted. Thanks again!

[@JimPutnam]

Not a lot of difference. Okame blooms much earlier and doesn't get as big. Similar instructions though.

[@CTYankee66]

Thank you very much! :-) I reside in the Charlotte area and I plan to make a trip to your garden center soon.

[@landipan]

What a beautiful tree! I've always admired the Yoshino cherry trees, do you have any experience with those?

[@JimPutnam]

Yes, Yoshino is a beautiful tree. I sell a lot of different cherry trees at my garden center. There are a lot of great varieties.

[@brandasar7913]

I wish I can grow this in Phoenix

[@luism370]

Same

[@W.Vanderbilt]

Jim, if you could help answer a question about my tree, that would be great, I'll wait and see if I hear from you

[@yolandapierce4258]

There is a bush at the house we bought and it had 1 beautiful pink flower. Come to find out it isn't even a bush, it is this tree. I have no idea what to do with it. It's been 4 years and last year was the first bloom I've ever seen.

[@stephanieb9709]

Hi Jim, thank you for your video's. I have two cherry tree's in my backyard! This morning I noticed that the leaves seemed to be crispy. When I looked closer I saw a lot of beetles eating the leaves. I think they are Japanese beetles. Do you have any advice on how to control them? Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

[@thireindarmin2335]

Hi, I am from Australia and it's spring time here. my tree has all of the green leaves out but one flower (about 2 weeks ago). I have been waiting for flowers but havent sighted any since. Would you know what the problem is?

[@diegosepulveda9077]

beautiful tree! can you do an update please? people say that kwanzan cherry tree lives from 15 to 25 years old so I wanna know how your tree looks in his current age. Thanks!!

[@kathryncervino438]

Thanks for the information. What is the meaning of "double pink" - does it mean there are two shades of pink in each flower?

[@ljulio3623]

what kind of fertilizers and which month

[@ananda_krishnan_r]

Is it possible to grow Kwanzan cherry at a temperature of 20-30 degree Celsius.....

[@chariprice]

Thanks Jim! Im pretty sure this is one my husband planted last year. It was starting to bloom last weekend when we got a hard freeze so I assumed that is why we didnt get a good show. Now it is leafing out. Do you think it would do ok with some annual flowers around it as it gets older so it wouldnt bother the tree roots as much?

[@JimPutnam]

That should be fine with a little extra water.

[@chariprice]

Thanks! Yes, watering all our trees has never been a problem anyway. he waters all our trees very regularly and I keep up with all the flowers, flower beds and veggie beds. I will talk to him about going ahead and enlarging the mulch around th e base since there isnt much past the canopy.

[@betsygasperin1812]

Do you think that I can grow one in the antelope valley? Is the dessert in California 😕

[@eveyneller7302]

I have two of the Kwanzan Japanese Cherry trees. When we bought them we were told that the only time to trim thin was in the fall. They said if we trim them any other time the trees would bleed. Is this true and what time of the year should they be trimmed if needed? The limbs on our trees had grown so much that I couldn't mow the front yard without getting smacked in the face with them. The trees are probably 25 ft tall or taller and are over lapping. They are beautiful when they are in bloom. I just wish the blooms would stay on longer. We have never had any problems with them. If you could give me any pointers on the time to trim it would be greatly appreciated.

[@JimPutnam]

I could be wrong, but I don't think kwanzan cherries are bleeder trees. I think you can do minor pruning anytime and major pruning while it is dormant in the winter. I did a tree pruning video this past summer and pruned mine then.

[@somewhereintimeiam]

You didn't mention a fragrance. Is there a scent? Is it similar to Yoshino's? Thank you for sharing great details to know.

[@sandra02111978]

somewhereintimeiam I have one in my front yard and have never noticed a scent.

[@Spycie775]

Just bought one for 120 at Home Depot here in Reno nv

[@jeffw1246]

I have four trees 1.5in diameter to be put in front and back yard. About how long before the hit 10ft diameter? The pros are planting them and I will be following their suggestions for my "kids" to keep them strong and healthy.

[@markbrown2296]

10 foot diameter! That would be huge.

[@NatashaWinland]

Thanks but I didnt get the answer I was looking for. This is my dads favorite tree. He loves them. He only has 1 and always wants more of them. They can be rather expensive tress. I was wanting to see if there was a way to get sprouts, seeds, root or limb cuttings from it to make another tree so my dad can have as many as he wants.

[@jenifinley]

Thanks for the info! What do u think about having one in Phoenix? Would the heat be too much?

[@JimPutnam]

They actually struggle in the heat even in my area of North Carolina and we don't have many days a year over a hundred.

[@jenifinley]

@@JimPutnam dang it! Okame it is

[@dwightmansburden7722]

Which would be the most fragrant one to plant? Zone 6b

[@flykitty9516]

Hello Jim my brother gave me 2 trees I live in Florida he gave me the Okame and kwanzan tree they are small I feel like it my be a challenge just cause this climate. He can't return I need advice. Please help!

[@dawnmclelland3615]

I have a Kwanzan Cherry Tree that in it's third year never leafed out in the spring but the roots were sending up shoots. What caused the main tree to die? I have planted this same tree four other times in different yards in Utah and never have had a problem. It's my favorite tree. I have let one of the shoots continue to grow. Will it be the same tree or are these trees grafted at the root?

[@luigi298]

They are very prone to various diseases so they rarely last past a decade.

[@vietyamato4172]

Hi there . It insects.attractive to kwanza cherry tree or any negative about the tree. I want to learn about it. Before I plan this tree.??? Thankyou

[@gardenfunwithpaulie]

Are there different types of Kwanzan Cherry Tree? Meaning in color and flowers?

[@Encephalitisify]

What about in the PNW? Enough water to not compete?

[@eveningstar06]

I live in central florida, zone 9b and i love this tree. Any chance it could survive out here? Most online nurseries state it is good until zone 9.

[@rocky6703]

you ever plant it? I too live in central florida and im gonna try to plant this tree sometime within the month.

[@eveningstar06]

@@rocky6703 I planted it in the end of march and it started to bloom almost immediately. Then a late season frost burned the blossoms that were coming out. i am hoping that next year i have better luck. The tree itself is growing nicely but i have some limbs growing from near the bottom i may have to trim off.

[@zombiegamer7071]

@@eveningstar06 Did everything go good with the tree?

[@eveningstar06]

@@zombiegamer7071 no, we put fertilizer too close to the base and it burned the tree. We have a redbud now. Hoping it comes out ok in the spring. Unfortunately I have a preference for cold loving plants 😭

[@CarlitoCulpable]

When would be the best time to olant this tree, can I plant it in the summer?

[@markbrown2296]

I planted mine in the summer and had no problems and it was planted 5 years ago.

[@KeikoTheCatsMeow]

You said you’re in the southeast, what state? I want to know the type of climate this tree can weather. I’m in Florida and it can get pretty humid and our winters don’t get real cold

[@zombiegamer7071]

Did you find anything out?

[@carolynzaremba5469]

He says he's in North Carolina.

[@jennieher123]

Can I cut a branch and plant it and will it survive?

[@JimPutnam]

Probably not, but the can be rooted in the early summer

[@MapleManiac]

How do u fertilize this big cherry and how much do u use?

[@JimPutnam]

I did fertilize it with some plant tone. Only about two cups, which is less than the bag probably says, but it has worked fine.

[@pleaseplantme-lawnmowingse3859]

Can the Okame Cherry be propagated from cuttings ? Or is it a grafted cultivar ?

[@JimPutnam]

They can be rooted, but most of what is in the trade is grafted.

[@pleaseplantme-lawnmowingse3859]

HortTube with Jim Putnam thanks Jim for taking the time

[@W.Vanderbilt]

My tree is about 6 years old and it seems to not have many leaves on it this year. The leaves that are on it are really small with the rest of the tree being bare. No holes in the leafs and the trunk looks good, dont know what is wrong. Anyone help? Have pictures too

[@JimPutnam]

There are a few in my neighborhood that are like that. Is it in the lawn?

[@W.Vanderbilt]

HortTube with Jim Putnam yes but the you g one is doing great

[@CheeseBae]

That's 20 feet???

[@elvegas8752]

Does it actually produce cherrys?

[@diegosepulveda9077]

they dont, only flowers

[@mikemayfield5172]

Is the Kwanza cherry and the flowering almond the same?

[@JimPutnam]

Very similar flowers, but flowering almonds are shrub size. If you need something smaller, it is a good choice.
