A cherry blossom is a flower of many trees of genus Prunus or Prunus subg. Cerasus.They are also known as Japanese cherry and Sakura.They generally refer to ornamental cherry trees, not to cherry trees that produce fruit for eating. It is considered the national flower of Japan.
During the first season, Cherry Blossom Trees require moderate watering care, preferably once a week for 30 minutes or to a depth of 18 inches. Once established, simply water once every two to three weeks.
Cherry Blossoms are flexible; plant in multiple exposures. Full sun, partial shade, or mostly shady locations will all work.
A common recommendation is to fertilize cherry trees once year, applying a low-nitrogen fertilizer such as 5-10-10 in early spring, about a month before bloom.
They prefer a good, well-drained soil enriched with lots of organic matter, which holds plenty of moisture in spring and summer, doesn't dry out or become waterlogged. They will grow in most soils types, especially chalky and alkaline soils.
Well preferably in the spring for younger trees and mid summer for established ones. Although we routinely prune cherry blossom trees year round it is spring/summer that would be the better time to prune such trees.
Fruit plants, and nut trees as well, need a certain amount of time spend dormant in temperatures from about 32 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 4.5 Celsius) in order to develop flowers and fruit in the spring, summer, and fall.
