Weeping Trees Plant Profile and Growing Hints
Weeping cherry trees are a popular ornamental tree grown widely for the well known pink. red to white blossom that appears in spring as well as the attractive pendulous foliage that follows.
Weeping cherry trees are usually grafted specimens and are available in different heights, so dwarf or low growing forms are available. Prunus kiki ‘Shidare Zakura’, Cheals Weeping Cherry is one of the most popular.
When planting a Weeping Cherry Tree consider its final growing size, especially the diameter, provide enough space so that the true form of the tree can stand out in the landscape. Weeping Trees crammed into small spaces usually do not look that attractive.
A smaller growing alternative is Prunus gladulosa, an upright small shrub.
While the Cherry Blossom tree Prunus serrulata or Sakura is the most widely grown, the earlier flowering peach Blossom, Prunus Persica or Momo is also very popular the two are often confused especially when just in bud. Once the buds open, the rounder shape of the petals and the flower colour make them easily identifiable.
