How To Plant Snow Goose Japanese Flowering Cherry
Cherries have a reputation for being disease-prone and short-lived, which some of them deserve. Snow Goose fares better than most—it has good disease resistance, and one of its two parent species has a living example in Japan that’s 800 years old! Give this tree all-day sun and any kind of soil except one that stays wet. It tolerates the pollution and grime of urban life and will bring its fresh snow-white blossoms to the mean streets of the city. Its dense roots make underplanting difficult. Tough bulbs like daffodils can cope.
Frequently Asked Questions
Snow Goose produces single white flowers that bloom profusely in early spring, typically before the leaves fully emerge.
No. Snow Goose is an ornamental flowering cherry and does not produce significant fruit, making it a clean and tidy choice for residential landscapes.
