Plant description:
One of the best blossom displays of any variety - and that's not all. Kanzan's classical form and colours bring year-round interest to your garden
Clusters of lush, double pink flowers cover the branches between March and May
The foliage emerges bronzed in the spring, matures to a dark green and puts on a spectacular display in autumn, with leaves taking on a palette of warm oranges, fiery reds and golden yellows
Growing to 8m but easily pruned to fit a smaller space, Kanzan is suitable for most average sized gardens and has a naturally vase-shaped form
A hardy tree that will thrive in all but chalky soils - grow in a sunny sheltered spot for the best flowers
Native to Japan, Kanzan was first bred in the Edo period (1603-1867) and named for the legendary Chinese poet and sage Hanshan (Kanzan-ji in Japanese)

Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single-use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post.
Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.
Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better-shaped tree. This can stop the tree from becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth.
