Tokyo Cherry prefers consistently moist soil, especially when young. Water deeply when the top 2-5 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering during dormancy in winter, but do not let the soil dry out completely.

Prune Tokyo Cherry immediately after flowering to shape the tree and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Avoid heavy pruning, as it can reduce flowering.

Focus on maintaining an open canopy for good air circulation and light penetration.

Propagation of Tokyo Cherry is typically done through grafting onto rootstock, as seeds may not reliably produce true-to-type trees. Softwood cuttings can be taken in late spring or early summer and treated with rooting hormone before being placed in a moist medium.

Repotting is generally not required for established Tokyo Cherry trees. Young trees or those grown in containers can be repotted every 2-3 years in early spring before active growth begins.

Use a well-draining potting mix and a slightly larger container.
