Notable Characteristics of Weeping Cherry Tree

The flowers of the Weeping Cherry Tree 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 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.

Landscape and Maintenance of Weeping Cherry Tree

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 and is toxic to dogs, cats and horses.

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

How To Grow & Care Tips

How to Grow and Care for Bare Root Trees

Bare root trees are shipped dormant without soil, making them lightweight, cost-effective, and easy to plant during the cool months of early spring or fall. To begin, soak the roots in a bucket of water for 4–6 hours before planting to rehydrate them. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil and ample space for the tree’s mature size.

Dig a hole twice as wide as the spread of the roots and deep enough to keep the root flare (where the roots begin to spread from the trunk) at or slightly above ground level. Create a small mound of soil in the center of the hole, spread the roots evenly over it, backfill with native soil, and gently tamp down to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting.

Keep the soil consistently moist (not soggy) during the first growing season, and apply mulch around the base—avoiding direct contact with the trunk—to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Stake the tree if necessary, and prune only to remove dead or damaged branches. With proper care, your bare root tree will establish quickly and grow strong for years to come.
