Flowering Cherry Trees for Sale Online
Nothing says spring like a flowering cherry in full bloom. Our collection focuses on reliable, landscape-proven cultivars—from the frothy clouds of Yoshino to the double, cotton-candy petals of Kwanzan, plus Okame for earlier color and weeping cherries for elegant, four-season structure. We hand-select trees for clean branching, bud hardiness, and honest sizing, so the look you’re dreaming about is the one you’ll actually get.
When you buy flowering cherry trees online from Garden Goods Direct, you get nursery-grown, zone-ready trees, clear guidance on planting, spacing, and pruning, and fast shipping backed by our "We Grow Together" Promise. Whether you’re framing a front walk, centering a courtyard, or lining a driveway for a springtime Allee, these trees deliver high-impact bloom with surprisingly low maintenance.
Flowering cherries bring instant curb appeal with clouds of blossom ranging from snow-white to shell-pink and deep rose. Expect refined branching, glossy summer foliage, and often gold to bronze fall color, followed by attractive bark and silhouette for winter interest. Our mix typically includes Yoshino (Prunus × yedoensis) for classic, lightly fragrant white-to-blush bloom; Kwanzan (P. serrulata ‘Kwanzan’) for dramatic double pinks; Okame for an earlier pink display; and weeping forms (e.g., ‘Snow Fountains’, subhirtella pendula) for graceful, architectural lines.
Most selections are fast to establish and manageable in size for today’s yards. With the right site—full sun, well-drained soil—you get an annual spring show with minimal fuss.
Growth Habits & Seasonal Interest
Yoshino Cherry: Vase-shaped habit, soft white to blush-pink flowers before leaf-out, light fragrance, and handsome branching that matures beautifully.
Kwanzan Cherry: Upright-oval becoming broad; double, pom-pom pink blossoms that read from the street; bold, bronzy new leaves and good fall color.
Okame Cherry: Compact, rounded tree that blooms early, extending your spring season with vivid rosy pinks.
Weeping Cherries: Cascading branches smothered in bloom; the weeping structure remains a focal point all year, especially against evergreens or water.
Beyond bloom, look for leaf sheen in summer, golden to copper fall tones, and bark texture that keeps interest when petals have fallen.
Landscape Uses & Functional Benefits of Flowering Cherry Trees
Front-Yard Statement: Anchor an entry bed with a single specimen; underplant with spring bulbs and low evergreens to frame the bloom.
Allée or Driveway: Repeat Yoshino or Kwanzan at consistent spacing for a tunnel of flowers each spring.
Courtyards & Patios: Choose weeping forms or smaller selections to bring sculptural interest without heavy shade.
Season Extension: Combine Okame (early) + Yoshino (mid) + Kwanzan (late) to stretch bloom for weeks.
Cherries also support early pollinators and create a seasonal focal point that enhances the entire planting plan with minimal maintenance beyond formative pruning.
Maintenance & Durability Advantages
Give flowering cherries full sun (6–8+ hrs) and well-drained soil. Plant with the root flare at or slightly above grade in a hole 2× as wide as the root ball; backfill with native soil, water deeply, and apply 2–3″ of mulch (kept off the trunk). Maintain even moisture the first growing season to establish.
Prune lightly after bloom to refine shape and remove crossing or damaged wood; avoid heavy winter cuts that remove spring buds. Feed modestly in early spring if vigor lags. For optimal foliage quality, ensure good air circulation and water at the base, rather than overhead.
Cherry Blossoms Signal Spring
One of the earliest and most beautiful signs that Spring is truly here is the arrival of the flowers on ornamental cherry blossom trees, known as Sakura in Japan. Clouds of beautiful blossoms, ranging from the deepest pink to the most delicate white, have captivated gardeners and artists alike for centuries.
When designing your garden, cherry trees are a great asset to use for accentuating a particular area. Their unique shape, luscious cherry blossoms, and bright spring display, not to mention their rich autumn leaf color, make them a good all-around investment as a statement tree.
