Faqs

Q: Does it produce fruit?
A: No. ‘Kwanzan’ is a sterile, ornamental variety that does not produce the small, messy fruit common to some other cherry trees. Its energy goes entirely into its magnificent blooms.

Q: How much winter chill does it need to bloom well?
A: It requires a moderate winter chill (around 700+ chill hours). It performs best in the Bay Area’s cooler zones (Sunset zones 15-17). In warmer inland valleys with mild winters, bloom may be less prolific.
