I planted two weeping Yoshino cherry trees and a taller upright Okame cherry tree close together. The upright looked weird and out of place next to his buddies, so I made it weep too using almost invisible black wire. Don't know how long that's going to last, if the wire kills the tree I'll replace it with one that weeps for real, but so far it looks good.

Yoshino cherry trees do not only grow 20 ft. Height at maturity is 30 to 50 ft and a spread of 25 to 40 ft.

I just got a bare-root yoshino cherry tree. Is it ok to plant it onto a pot, or should I plant it in the ground?

Ground

[@tglenn3121]

@@Pokeman_official1 Ok, thanks. Actually though, in my case, I have to plant it in a pot because the landlord requires that. So, I hope the tree will thrive anyway.

How do you prune to keep it small?

[@josiahviera5124]

On a tropical island like Puerto Rico I could have a specimen in my garden or a similar species ?

[@Pokeman_official1]

Nope they need cold to flower

What's a sign of those pests?

Can you grow Yoshino’s in central Florida? Please say yes :)

So Yoshino cherry is listed for zone 5-8. Florida is well into zone 9 too hot and humid. Only possibility would be an Okame Cherry, which lists zone 6-9, and I had just planted one myself but I’m in Northeast Florida. I read some sites that say Okame have been grown as far south as Tampa. I imagine it will take a LOT of TLC.
