Cherry Blossom are one of the most beautiful flowers, coming in bright colors. The Cherry Blossom trees in full bloom, during the arrival of spring, is one of the most beautiful sights to behold.This flower is so popular that festivals are celebrated in its honor- the Cherry Blossom Festival, celebrated in the months of March and April. The Cherry Blossom is Japan's unofficial National Flower. Somei Yoshino is a favorite Cherry Blossom variety of the Japanese. The flowers are almost pure white, tinged with the palest pink, especially near the stem.
Cherries are propagated by budding them on seedling stocks in the nursery and are sold for planting stock as one- or two-year-old trees. Sweet and Sour Cherries are fairly easy to grow. Sour Cherries, which are smaller and more tolerant of cold and heat, are easier to grow than sweet Cherries.Sour cherries are self-pollinating so you don't have to plant two kinds. Sour Cherries also bloom later, which makes them less vulnerable to harm from late spring frosts.
Because of the fact that Cherry Blossom trees bloom early in spring and are susceptible to damage from late spring frosts, the site for growing Cherries should be slightly higher and sloped than the surrounding ground to prevent frosty air from settling in the low spots. These trees should be placed in a sheltered location with full sun, in soil that is deep, fertile and moist, but well drained.Full sun exposure for Cherry Blossom trees is necessary to produce delicious Cherries and strong trees.These trees grown in shade will produce spindly branches and fewer cherries that are less sweet.Sweet and sour Cherries are susceptible to most of the same problems.Some common problems seen in Cherry Blossom trees are Plum curculio, Brown rot, cherry fruit flies, cherry leafspot and bacterial canker.
