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.
Buy This If
You want heavy pink spring bloom.
You have room around the canopy.
You like classic flowering cherries.
Skip This If
You need four-season ornamental value.
You have a narrow planting strip.
You cannot manage cherry cleanup.
PGNE Report Card
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.
Our Experience
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.

Customers Usually Ask
Will it make cherries?
Not in a useful edible way; plant this one for flowers, not harvest.
Is it messy?
Some petal, leaf, and twig cleanup is normal, especially after bloom and in fall.
Where should I plant it?
Give it open space away from roofs, walks, drive edges, and tight foundation beds.
Why Flowering Cherry Trees Stand Out
Explosive Spring Color Branches covered in pink or white blossoms create a dramatic seasonal show.
Strong Focal Point Perfect for front yards, entryways, and high-visibility planting areas.
Wide Variety of Forms Available in upright, weeping, and narrow shapes to fit different spaces.

Found this company on GOOGLE, and so glad I did!
I needed trees asap, to create a fence from neighbors. None of the local nurseries had any stock for the Green Giant Arborvitae’s.
Only a 30 min ride, and we were met with the kindest folks and the BEST selection of trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials.
Don’t even bother with the Big Box stores, (if they have them, they are usually half dead) when you can get them bigger and HEALTHIER at Pro Growers. A N D local delivery is readily available!
