How to Grow Cherry Blossoms in a Pot

When we think cherry blossoms, we picture a large tree full of flowers in the garden. What if you don’t have a yard, but you still dream of having one? Well, it is possible and I’ll tell you how!
Before you plan to grow cherry blossoms in a pot, do note that these trees in their natural environment will grow to a height of 15-20 feet easily.
For containers, you can pick any variety you want, as the space will anyway confine the roots, making the height and spread limited. However, you may have to prune and shape the tree, from time to time, to make it fit the space.
For best flowers and ease of maintenence, go for Prunus ‘Kojo-no-mai,’ Prunus ‘Amanogawa,’ Prunus ‘Little Pink Perfection,’ Prunus ‘Snow Showers,’ or Prunus ‘The Bride.’
The best way to do it is by cuttings. If you have spotted a specimen that you would like to have in a container, simply snip off 8-12 inches long hardwood cutting of the same, in late autumn or winter, when the tree is dormant.
Remove the lower leaves, put the cut-end in a rooting hormone, and plant it in a well-draining potting mix. Water well, and ensure it gets plenty of indirect light.
The cutting will take its own sweet time to grow and develop.
To save yourself from all these hassles and time, I would recommend you to get a healthy specimen from a garden centre. It will come in a pot, which, you can then re-pot into your favorite one (2 sizes bigger than the container it came in).
If you are starting the plant from a cutting, then I would say go for a 8-12 inches pot and then re-pot it in 1-2 size bigger container then the old one, every 3-5 years, based on the the growth and spread.
If you are buying a well grown specimen from a garden centre, say, something that’s 3-4 feet tall, then re-pot
