Bare Root Prunus Kanzan Cherry Tree AKA Prunus Sekiyama
If you want one of the biggest deciduous floral displays in your garden then get the Chelsea Flower Show to host next to your shed. Almost as good, plant a Kanzan because this tree knows how to show and be a cheery cherry. There is certainly no yawn on your lawn with this pink prunus and is one of the most popular double flowering cherry trees available. The only way this double flower could get any more interesting is if you had double vision.
With a 10-year height of around 5m and a 4m width you have plenty of real estate for a stunning display every year.
The young bronze like leaves (describes colour and not came third in a competition) are not standard issue for trees and so not average. For our competitive customers, before you ask there is no such colour as "Gold medal winner" colour leaves. You could tell your neighbours that you have foliage from the bronze age which is technically true but everyone else calls it spring. These turn into a mid-green as the season moves on and then darker oranges in Autumn. Please expect all colours to be darker at night time and for the finer plant details to become less defined as old age robs your eyesight.
The younger trees have a vase like shape which transforms (as do we all) into a spreading mature version. It also gets more craggy skin, starts throwing more shade, gives you the silent treatment and refuses to change it's position no matter what argument you present to it.
Planting Bare Root Prunus Kanzan Cherry Tree
A full sun and sheltered spot will help protect the flowers from high winds and this usually means one with surrounding fences, foliage, houses etc. The sorts of shelter that will not help you are animal, homeless, tax and air-raid.
Suited for most well draining and fertile soils unless you are in the way of a UK Government vanity project like HS2 then no soil will be good. Tolerates clay and chalk soils but keep away from water logged sites like concerts from Wet Wet Wet. Don't confuse wet sites with wetsuits, you can plant Prunus Kanzan near them as much as you like.
Pruning Bare Root Prunus Kanzan Cherry Tree
You can leaf this tree to it's own devices e.g. I-Pad, Apple watch etc, but a little pruning now and then can be a good thing especially if you have dead, diseased or crossing over branches. As we have plastic surgery, a little tree surgery can help in the first few years with some selective pruning to get it to bush out a bit more. This is usually best done late winter to early spring.

Random Information About Our Bare Root Prunus Kanzan Cherry Tree
Kanzan is a Japanese word so we put it through our expensive translator software and it means "your free translation software trial period is over".
As Kanzan is a vigorous tree, it does what the Japanese do all the time and that is to produce a lot of boughs.
Our research shows Kanzan to literally mean "Bordering Mountain". The person who first found Prunus Kanzan was likely a lost botanist and was bored of mountains hence the name. We suspect it wasn't called "Sore wa atarash? kidesu ka" (is that a new tree) because it is not as catchy as Kanzan.

Planting In The Corner Of A Garden
Air and light is reduced in this location which could promote fungus and bacterial issues. If the corner is of the house and a fence then you also have leeching issues to contend with from cement and wood preservatives. Also when it rains, that area would experience higher water levels so we advise against it unless the plant is very hardy.
