Prunus serrulata ‘Kanzan’ is a spectacular Japanese flowering cherry with large clusters of double, rich pink blossom.
Bronze-red young foliage accompanies the flowers before turning green for summer. Orange, bronze and red autumn leaves complete its seasonal display.
Its upright young crown gradually becomes broad and vase-shaped, making ‘Kanzan’ an outstanding specimen for lawns, avenues, driveways and medium-to-large gardens.
