Kwanzan Cherry Finally Blossoms

I was about ready to give up on our Kwanzan Cherry Tree that we bought at Lowe’s four years ago.  Until this year it’s growth and flowering has been less than spectacular.  it was the Kwanzan Cherry equilvilent of a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree.

Well, just last week we were contemplating digging it up and replanting it off in a back corner of the yard and replacing it with something more mature.  When I got home from work yesterday something happened overnight because a huge number of buds popped and are in the process of opening up.  The flowers are spectacular and I’m so glad we didn’t dig her up.  It looks like she finally took hold and is growing with new shoots and a ton of new buds that are ready to pop.
