HoosierGreen, You're probably right. I bought the trees a year apart. Thought I was getting the same tree. That explains the different shape.

kwanjin: If you want a wide spreading tree, get the Yoshino. Because it's so wide, the bloom is beautiful (at least it used to be!) If you want really cool flowers, get the Kwansan, but it's branches don't spread out.

I just ran outside to take a picture of the Kwansan so you can see the shape. Mind you, it's over 10 years old. It leans because the neighboring trees in the fence row shade one side.
