Growing

Prunus triloba prefers a sunny location with well-drained, moderately moist soil. The plant requires regular watering during the first few months after planting but becomes drought-tolerant over time. After flowering in late spring, a light pruning should be done to maintain shape and encourage blooming. The plant is moderately frost-hardy and thrives best in temperate climate zones.
