Weeping Cherry
Heavy flowering in spring lasts one week. It is a specimen tree with single trunk. It is a sought after accent tree in late winter or early spring, with its showy pink flowers that emerge before the foliage emerges on pendulous branches. Fall color is a mixture of green, chartreuse, and yellow. Bronzy-brown bark is smooth and attractive. The Higgins Weeping Cherry tree prefers moist, well-drained soils of average fertility in full sun, but is adaptable to poor soils, compacted soils, dry soils, and heat. This deciduous tree has branches that are strongly weeping in form. The Weeping Cherry tree, Prunus subhirtelia 'Pendula', has a medium growth rate for its arching vertical growth, but a rapid growth rate for its many weeping stems. If desired, stems that weep to the ground can be pruned up to a desired height (either staggered in height for informality, or clipped to precisely the same height for formality) so that mowing, growth of other ornamentals, or maintenance access can be achieved underneath the tree. ... additional information
