Prunus Kanzan

Prunus Kanzan Tree Size and Growth Habit

Prunus Kanzan grows up to 6 metres tall with a vase-shaped canopy that creates an elegant silhouette in any garden setting. The tree produces large, double pink blossoms in spring, which not only add spectacular colour but also attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Its moderate size makes it an excellent choice for medium to large gardens as well as urban streetscapes. This deciduous tree also offers seasonal interest with vibrant autumn foliage before leaf drop, adding to the year-round appeal of your outdoor space.

Planting and Growing Prunus Kanzan in New Zealand

Plant your Prunus Kanzan in a sunny, sheltered spot with well-drained soil for best results. The tree thrives when planted during the winter months (June to August), allowing its roots to establish well before the active growth phase in spring. Prunus Kanzan is tolerant of a range of soil types but prefers slightly acidic to neutral pH. Mulching around the base will help retain moisture and suppress weeds. Regular watering is important during dry periods, especially for young trees, to ensure healthy establishment and vigorous growth.

Care and Maintenance for Prunus Kanzan

To keep your Prunus Kanzan thriving, water regularly during extended dry spells and apply a balanced fertiliser early in spring to encourage lush foliage and abundant flowering. Pruning should be done lightly after the flowering season to maintain the tree’s natural vase shape and to remove any dead, damaged, or diseased wood. Proper pruning also improves air circulation within the canopy, reducing the risk of fungal diseases. This variety is well-adapted to New Zealand’s climate and shows good resistance to common pests and diseases, making it a low-maintenance choice for gardeners.
