Subsequently, question is, how do you plant a cherry blossom tree?
The Cherry blossom tree should be planted in a sunny location with good drainage, for best flowering and growth. These trees like full sun, at least 6-8 hours a day or more. Depending on variety and type these trees can grow anywhere from 15 to 20 feet, with a canopy just as wide.
Kwanzan cherries can be grown in USDA hardiness zones 5-9 and should be planted in an area that receives full sun for at least 6 hours per day. The tree tolerates acidic, alkaline, loamy, sandy and both well-draining to wet soils. It prefers regular irrigation, although it is somewhat drought tolerant once established.
