The Weeping Cherry tree is a superb blossoming tree that has both spectacular floral and foliage beauty and high versatility. These trees are grafted which means they stay small and do not grow in height once planted. Instead they mature by growing a thicker trunk and a much fuller weeping head.
Highly recommended as a landscape feature plant, with masses of flowers in spring. It’s adaptable to a wide range of conditions including heat and moderate drought. Good disease resistance, flowers best in full sun.
The ‘Rosea’ pink weeping cherry is best kept out of the wind so as to retain the blossoms and autumn leaves for longer. Weeping cherries don’t like soggy roots so plant in well draining soil or in a mound above the soil line to assist with drainage.
It’s worth mentioning that weeping cherry trees are a type of ornamental cherry, which means they don’t produce edible fruit but instead put their energy into beautiful flowers.
