A cherry blossom is the flower of trees of genus Prunus. Prunus Avium is commonly called wild cherry or bird cherry. The blossom as you see is white. This one grows in my neighbor’s backyard. Although I’ve noticed one brave Robin that protects the area for itself; birds invade this tree mid-summer for the fruit. Many of us plant cherry trees for the blossom and not necessarily for the fruit. Many varieties also have pink blossoms. The tree can form in many shapes as well. Blossom lovers are known to plant the Weeping Cherry which is one of the most dramatic flowering trees for the landscape. One of the most commonly planted specimens is the Yoshino cherry blossom tree. Many varieties came to the U.S. from Japan. When I think of cherry trees the first image in my mind is Potomac Park in Washington D.C. Of course next is the thought of trips to Traverse City during cherry festivals. I’ve not been in Traverse City when the trees are in bloom however. It must be a beautiful sight.
Cherry tress like well-drained soil in a sunny area. The recommended planting zone is 5-9. Brown rot and blossom blight are two fungal disease which attack cherry trees. Fall is the best time to apply a copper spray to the tree after the leaves fall. Fungicide then gets applied when blossoms appear and continued on a weekly basis. However, be preventative by removing old fruit and leaves from the tree to help avoid disease.
