Flowering cherries thrive in full sun, essential for abundant flowering. Prefer moist, well-drained soils. Most tolerate a wide range of soil types, though slightly acidic to neutral soil is ideal. Minimal pruning is needed. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches in late summer to avoid infection. Mulch annually in spring to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, keeping mulch away from the trunk.
