CHERRY BLOSSOM

General Characteristics

Cherry blossom trees are grown for their ornamental qualities, not fruit. Some varieties of flowering cherry do produce fruit, though it is generally small, tart, and preferred by birds rather than humans.There are numerous, species, cultivars, and hybrids under the umbrella name of flowering cherries, but they all share a few common characteristics:

• They grow fast, but are short-lived. Flowering cherries are prone to a host of diseases that can shorten their lifespan, but even healthy trees rarely live for more than 20 years.
• They are medium-sized trees, usually growing no more than 15 or 30 feet in height, though some varieties may exceed this size. However, their growth habit varies widely among the different varieties - upright, spreading, and weeping forms are available.
