THE Weeping
Cherry
About the
Weeping Cherry :
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. 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. It is a specimen tree with single
trunk. This deciduous tree has branches that
are strongly weeping in form. Heavy
flowering in spring lasts one week.
Bronzy-brown bark is smooth and attractive.
Fall color is a mixture of green,
chartreuse, and yellow. 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. 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. |
