Last Spring I planted a Yoshino Cherry sapling, about a foot tall. Over the winter rabbits ate most of the tree and it is now growing back in more of a bush form, there are approximately 6 main stems and it is now about 4 feet tall. I am wondering what to do with this tree; should I keep it trimmed into a large bush or can I let it grow as is? Do I need to get rid of it and start over? Any help you can provide would be appreciated. Thank you! Hello Diana,

I would not prune anything else at this time because you will be decreasing the amount of blooms next spring. It is always safe to prune right after flowering. I would not worry about life expectancy. These are the same trees planted around the tidal basin in Washington, DC. Good Luck and Happy Planting! Diana Good Morning Don,

I live in New England. Can I prune now in November or is it best to wait for March/April? Also, the tree was planted around 1991/2. What is the life expectancy of this tree? Thanks, Don Dear Diana,

However, if you plant a nice dense groundcover beneath the tree, this will hinder seeds from sprouting. Juniper could be an option, otherwise it is very easy to pull up trees and you may even want to give some away. They are just now turning golden yellow in my garden. Happy Planting!

Where can we see some Golden Rain Trees in Greensboro? Also, we read that they produce a lot of offshoots. Are they a problem to maintain in a yard?

If you move the tree can easily be transported to the new home. Thank you for stopping by Diana is Digging Dirt Hi Precy,

We live in a townhouse, and it says online that San Diego is Zone 10 - 11 >.< I like yoshino, snow fountain, and mt. fuji. I would love any input and suggestions. ^-^ (Also, been wondering why, most of the online stores doesn't ship cherry trees to CA) (?)
