Note I do NOT know flowering cherries at all, but it sure is 'purty'.

Might be a Sargent cherry. The one photo by itself is not enough to tell for sure.

The flowers look to be too large to be subhirtella which are quite small, even the doubles.

Overall form . They are quite large and under 20 years young. Don’t know the exact age though .

Could also be a hybrid like 'Accolade', which I believe is supposed to be P. sargentii x subhirtella.

I actually came back here to ask if it might be accolade. Flowers look very similar

'Accolade' is double, light pink and lower in habit - these are probably one of the upright forms of Sargent cherry. At least the ones in the first shot on this page.

Are you absolutely positive that this is prunus sargentii? Because I've always wanted one, yet no local nurseries carry the sargents cherry and maybe I might want to grow this from cuttings if it is actually a pure sargents cherry. Also, this can't be 'columnaris' or 'rancho' since branch growth is very irregular so must be some other cultivar?

Btw, fall color is yellow. Aren't they supposed to turn orange?

The biggest one on the property. Probably around 45 ft tall and around 15 years old. How could they get so big that young ?? In 30 years they’d be 90ft?? Does this cherry look any different than the ones I posted before ?

Assuming that they will double in height in a similar amount of years is not realistic. Trees will often grow quite rapidly when young but slow their rate of growth as they age (and some will do the reverse). And as they approach their genetically programmed mature size, growth can be extremely slow...almost not observable over several years.

Does it also depend on the tree as well? David olszyk from conifers once told me that his thujopsis dolabrata was 20 ft tall in 15 years. So I ask him how tall would it be in 60 years and he says 80 ft based on the calculation. So I questioned him that I was under the impression that trees slow down as they age but he says 60 years in tree time is still young.

Cherries are short-lived trees IME, both ornamentals and native.

Yes, it depends on the type of tree. And I did state that some trees do take the opposing approach of starting out slowly and then picking up speed as they age. What you need to take away from this is that growth rate is not necessarily going to be uniform throughout the lifespan of the tree (and can be inlfuenced by environmental conditions as well). And that predicted lifespan is not the same for all trees as well. Some are very shortlived (in tree time) and others can live for centuries. Pretty easy to find conifers that are hundreds of years old.....hard to find a cherry that is much older than 50!

I don’t want to start a new thread because this is about a cherry too.. but anyone know what possible consequences are there for my weeping cherry that was attacked by some deer last fall? Will this significantly lessen its lifespan? I thought it was an instant kill but it’s blooming gracefully now and foliage is almost complete. This is my first ever cherry I planted 3 years ago and I do not want to let it die by the likes of deer !

I'd replace it. And do something about excluding the deer, otherwise they will always be in the power seat regarding outcomes with your plantings.

Ok well can you tell me a reason why replace it? What are the possible consequences of it? I mean its blooming nicely now so it didn't die from it. Will it have future problems? Deer will always be an issue here and fencing the yard is 100% not an option. I can fence around the tree until the it gets big and thats about it.

"Will it have future problems?"

Very likely. As has been mentioned here countless times, ornamental cherries are prone to a whole host of disease issues that makes any missing bark or open wounds problematic in the extreme. Often you will not notice anything obvious going on immediately - we are talking tree time here, not people time :-) - but that doesn't mean there is no current issue or one that could develop at any time.

That one looks pretty bad.

Is there any of the Cambium layer still connecting top of tree to bottom? Or is it girdled all the way around? There needs to be a certain amount of the trunk circumference still healthy before the tree can recover properly. I think you need at least 50% of the circumference undamaged IIRC:

The wound will try to close but your biggest problem will be decay of the old wood, resulting in a weakened trunk. The tree could snap off in a wind storm once the crown gets full/heavy. This could take a few years to happen.

There's also the spreading of rot possible inside the trunk as time goes on.

I would have to agree, now is the time to replace it.

It’s not girdled all the way around thank god but I guess at this point it doesn’t matter because it’s such a big wound it’s become a disease magnet. I kind of knew it since I knew cherries are super susceptible to fungal diseases(gardengal I know it’s been mentioned countless times and I was already Aware)but just wanted clarification on whether you all thought the same as me. Somewhere in mind I had hope for this tree but you guys are all on the same page as me and I think I need to replace.. sigh this was my gift to my dad for Father’s Day. Look like I gotta convince him to get that tree out
