Weeping Cherry Tree Details

Weeping Cherry Tree - Prunus Subhirtella ‘Pendula’

The Weeping Cherry Blossom Tree (Prunus Subhirtella) is one of many Cherry Tree varieties that are popular for their pink, springtime blooms. This tree is a native of Japan and is immediately recognizable because of its pendulous, graceful hanging branches adorned with small blossoms. It is often planted near bodies of water where its weeping form can be reflected, but it would be perfect just about anywhere in your garden.

Weeping Cherry Tree Notable Characteristics

The Weeping cherry flowers emerge before the foliage does, sprouting small, five-petal flowers that range from white to light pink. They grow in clusters along the thin, tapered branches, which are quite flexible and droop downward as they grow, giving the tree a "weeping" effect.

The bark of this tree is smooth and dark, offering a striking contrast to the light and bright blooms. The foliage emerges as a bronze color in the spring, providing a beautiful, glowing contrast to the pink flowers, before maturing to a dark green. In autumn, the leaves of this tree turn a pleasant yellow before dying off for the winter.

Weeping Cherry Tree Landscape and Maintenance

Despite its delicate appearance, the Weeping Cherry Tree is quite robust and thrives well in the United States, especially in the southern and midwestern states, or hardiness zones 6-8. It prefers moist, well-drained soil but can tolerate compacted or even dry soil once established. It thrives in full sun.

Unfortunately, it offers little to no winter interest, but its mid-spring burst of flowers more than makes up for it. It is well worth having this dramatic beauty in your garden or yard.
