Because flowering cherries are fast-growing, short-lived trees, they're generally in full bloom between their fifth and seventh year after planting.
The blossom time for a given tree will depend on the cultivar you've planted, and your local climate. Clemson University's Extension Service probably offers the most realistic assessment, describing blossom time simply as early- to mid-spring. Cherry blossom tree roots are easily damaged by waterlogged soil, so young flowering cherries prefer a well-drained soil and regular watering. Water weekly through the first dry season, applying 10 gallons of water for every inch of the tree trunk's diameter.
Add a 3- to 4-inch layer of mulch around the tree, pulling it back 4 inches from the tree's trunk to conserve water and keep the soil at a consistent moisture level. Organic gardeners can rake 2 pounds of compost around the tree every month. Flowering cherries are susceptible to insect and fungal disease problems. Regular pruning to thin out branches and allow for better air and light circulation will help keep your tree healthy.
Watch for caterpillars, leaf-mining moths, bullfinches, silver leaf, bacterial canker and blossom wilt. The best time to plant is in early spring, after the danger of frost has past, or in early fall, allowing plenty of time for roots to establish before the first freeze. Apply a layer of mulch around the trees after planting. Heat Zones 6 - 8 What's My Zone? Want Garden Inspiration? Related Items Guides. Plant Family.
