So I just talked with dad who says that our tree is a Kwanzan Cherry. I printed out specs on the Kwanzan Cherry and the Thundercloud Plum. And by the “specs” of how it should grow, my dad claims it’s a Kwanzan. He said he pruned the middle because it was too dense – which is a distinctly cherry feature (if I remember correctly). The “specs” on the Thundercloud Plum match how it does grow… but my dad bought it from a nursery that actually knew what they were doing. I would hate to be a horticulturalist… it’s so difficult when people don’t just let the damn things grow like they want to! Verdict: We have a Kwanzan Cherry, pruned like a Thundercloud Plum.
