Prunus serrulata 'Kwanzan'
Choose Kwanzan Cherry if you want a heavy pink spring flower show and have open space for a broad canopy. The tradeoff: after bloom, it settles into a green ornamental tree with normal cherry cleanup.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A | The heavy pink bloom is the main reason to plant it, but the show is concentrated in spring. |
| Growth Rate | B+ | It fills in at a useful pace without being the right choice for instant privacy. |
| Maintenance | B- | Plan on cleanup after bloom and occasional pruning to keep the branch structure tidy. |
| Deer Resistance | C- | Deer readily browse and rub young trees like this, so protect it while it establishes where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | C- | It needs breathing room, so it is a poor fit for tight beds or narrow side yards. |
| Screening Value | D | It is planted for flowers and form, not for dependable privacy screening. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Kwanzan Cherry where the customer has open lawn space and wants spring flowers more than screening, fall color, or a compact tree.
| Mature Height | 35 ft |
|---|---|
| Mature Width | 30 ft |
| Hardiness Zones | 5a-9b |
| Spacing | 27.5 ft |

Not in a useful edible way; plant this one for flowers, not harvest.
Some petal, leaf, and twig cleanup is normal, especially after bloom and in fall.
Give it open space away from roofs, walks, drive edges, and tight foundation beds.

They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
