Kwanzan Flowering Cherry (Prunus serrulata 'Kwanzan') Pollination Info

It is important to plant Kwanzan Flowering Cherry trees in a location where they will receive full sun to partial shade and have well-draining soil. This will help promote healthy growth and flowering, which in turn will attract more pollinators.
During the spring months when the trees are in bloom, make sure to avoid using pesticides or insecticides that could harm the pollinators. Instead, consider planting pollinator-friendly plants nearby to attract even more beneficial insects to your garden.
