Caring for Cherry Blossom Trees

Ornamental Flowering Cherry Blossom trees grow well in full sun, but they can also be grown in partial shade. In the warmest climates, a planting spot that receives afternoon shade is preferred.

They prefer well-drained soil that is slightly acidic or low pH. If you have heavy soil that stays wet, be sure to create a raised planting bed or mound for your tree. Use native soil, with handfuls of pine bark soil conditioner or peat moss to improve drainage.

Cherry blossom trees need a moderate amount of water. Take care when establishing your tree to feel the soil next to it. If it's getting dry, time to water. If it's moist, skip watering and check back soon.

Using a thick layer of mulch over the root system will help keep your plant happy. Pull mulch back from the trunk by at least 6 inches for proper air circulation.

Cherry blossom trees don't like root competition from other plants. You'll be better off spreading the mulch layer wide to create a special focal point, versus planting in a lawn.

Add some small boulders and a special bench and table under a high branch. Style this tree to match your exterior. It will work with modern, traditional and even rustic styles beautifully.

Sculpt the tree with careful pruning in winter. Decide which branches you'll keep as a first step. Then, carefully prune the rest to open the canopy to sunlight and air circulation.

Emphasize the lyrical curves of the beautiful branch structure. Ponder the shape before you trim. Let pruning your tree be an exercise in mindfulness.

The Flowering Cherry Blossom tree will not produce edible fruit. Let the birds enjoy any tiny, black drupe that may appear in fall.
