The Weeping Cherry Tree is a dramatic flowering tree
that can add a unique accent to any landscape. Natives
of Japan, weeping cherry trees have long, drooping
branches similar to weeping willows. In the spring,
Weeping Cherry is covered in white or pale-pink
blossoms.
Although a weeping cherry tree's vertical growth rate is
moderate, the growth rate of its many weeping stems can
be quite rapid. Like most trees with a weeping form,
weeping cherry trees generate a lot of shade, making it
difficult to grow anything underneath. |
| Weeping cherry trees produce blooms in early to mid
spring, before foliage appears. Fall leaf colors range
from green to yellow. The bark of the weeping cherry is
smooth and colored bronze to brown. |
