Coming home after visiting Japanese Gardens can leave you feeling inspired to bring a small bit of Feng Shui to your gardens! A great way to do that is by adding a Mount Fuji Japanese Flowering Cherry tree (Prunus serrulata 'Mount Fuji') to the landscape. Its classic Ornamental Cherry Tree look is exactly what any garden needs!
Luxurious blossoms of delicate white burst forth each spring on the branches of Mount Fuji. Larger than any of the other cherry tree varieties. To passersby, it looks as though a cloud has come to rest upon a shining, deep brown, trunk. When the tree isn't in bloom, it is still quite beautiful with its dark green lance-shaped leaves blanketing the crown.
Growing into a flat-topped canopy about 20 feet tall and spreading around 25 feet wide, this Flowering Ornamental thrives throughout USDA planting zones 5 to 8 where it appreciates a sunny spot away from pockets where cold air pools.
Landscape Application:
Due to its tolerance for heat, humidity, and pollution, this specimen makes the ideal front yard showstopper. Mount Fuji is also deer resistant, meaning it'll be just as safe if planted in places where deer are often seen. Plant one by itself or multiple in a cluster for a magnificent effect each year. They also look especially lovely as a pair planted on each side of a driveway or entryway.
While the Mt. Fuji Japanese Flowering Cherry tree doesn't produce the fruit typical of a traditional Cherry Tree, it does grow cherry-like berries that songbirds love to snack on after flowering for the season. If you're an avid birdwatcher, then you'll want to put this tree somewhere you can marvel at their different colors and birdsong!
This tree has qualities for all! Not a bird enthusiast? No problem! The semi-double flowers also bring with them a heavenly fragrance each spring that'll have you absolutely in love. Japanese Cherry Blossom is a perfume often sought after and you could have it growing right in your front yard!
As if all that wasn't enough, planting a Mt. Fuji Flowering Cherry tree is one of the best ways to guarantee visits from your local pollinators! Butterflies and hummingbirds will flock to the blossoms, creating a lovely fluttering show for you to enjoy along with the flowers.
- Brilliant White Cherry Blossoms
- Pollinator Friendly
- Exquisitely Fragrant
- Great Bronzy Fall Color & Tiny Bird-Friendly Berries
- Perfect Front Yard Showstopper, Groupings & Impressive Rows
#ProPlantTips for Care:
When thinking about planting, keep in mind that the Japanese Flowering Cherry loves the sun and should be put somewhere it can bask all day long. It also flourishes best in medium well-drained soil. Give it those few requirements and you'll have a happy Flowering Cherry Tree for years to come. Use the Finger Test and a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch around their root system for best results.

- Well-Drained Soil
