Please note: Images on our website depict plants and trees at full maturity to showcase their expected grown characteristics. These images are illustrative examples only and do not represent the size of plants or trees upon delivery.

Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth appears, removing any dead or diseased branches, and thinning out crowded branches to promote good air circulation.

Fertilization: Fertilize in early spring before new growth appears and again in mid-summer with a balanced fertilizer (10-10-10) or a fertilizer formulated specifically for cherry trees.

Winter Protection: In colder zones, protect the tree during winter by applying a layer of mulch around the base to insulate the roots and wrapping the trunk with a protective material to prevent damage from frost.


When planting the Yoshino Cherry Tree, it's important to choose a well-draining site that gets at least six hours of sunlight daily. The tree should be planted at the same depth as it was in the container or burlap. When planting in the ground, make sure the hole is twice as wide as the root ball. Water the tree regularly, especially during the first year after planting. If planting in a pot, choose a large container with drainage holes and fill it with high-quality potting soil. Water the tree thoroughly but avoid overwatering as this can lead to root rot.

The Yoshino Cherry Tree, scientifically known as Prunus x yedoensis, prefers full sun to partial shade and needs regular watering, especially during the first few years of establishment. It's recommended to water deeply once a week during dry periods, but be sure to not overwater the tree.
