Kanzan suits gardens and parks with generous space, in well-drained soil and full sun. We recommend it to anyone seeking a spectacular display: large double purplish-pink flowers cover the branches, accompanied by coppery young foliage. Hardy and dependable, it eventually becomes a broad, substantial tree and is not suitable for confined gardens.
Kanzan
Price range: 19,00 € through 45,00 €
Kanzan is one of the most popular Japanese flowering cherries, with intense pink spring blossom and good autumn leaf colour.
Kanzan is one of the classic Japanese flowering cherries – easily recognised by its large size, upright vase-shaped vigorous growth, and the mass of deep pink flowers.
Japanese flowering cherries are often categorised by the number of petals which form the flower, and Kanzan is a typical “double-flower”, meaning the flowers have between 25-50 petals. The more petals the more intense the blossom will be, and this is perhaps the main reason for Kanzan’s popularity – its flowers can have 8-10 times more petals than the simpler single-flowered forms, giving it a much more profuse blossom display.
The new leaves appear at the same time as the blossom, and are initially a coppery-bronze colour. They take on orange and red tints in the autumn.
Kanzan is one of the most cold-hardy of the double-flowered ornamental cherries, and a good choice for gardeners in northern Europe.
