Why Plant Snow Goose Japanese Flowering Cherry?
Snow Goose Flowering Cherry is a showstopper in early spring. With branches smothered in bright white blossoms, it brings a sense of purity and renewal to your landscape just as winter fades. The tree's upright vase-shaped form makes it a great fit for smaller yards or tight garden spaces, while its reliable performance and tidy habit make it a favorite of landscape designers. Snow Goose is a cultivar of the Higan Cherry, known for its cold tolerance and extended bloom period. Beyond the flowers, you will enjoy golden fall foliage and a beautifully branching winter silhouette.
How to use Snow Goose Japanese Flowering Cherry in the landscape?
Snow Goose works beautifully as a front yard feature tree, offering a burst of spring color where it can be fully appreciated. It also fits well along driveways, walkways, and patios where its upright shape will not overwhelm. Plant it near evergreens or dark-foliaged shrubs for contrast, or line a pathway with multiple trees for a dramatic allée effect.
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.

Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
