Description
Weeping cherry trees adds an instant touch of artistry to the landscape. The gracefully arched branches look great in any season. In spring the tree produces a cascade of fragrant pink blooms. During the summer the soft form adds a relaxing, fluid shape in the garden. In winter, the weeping branches become sculpture-like when covered with a layer of snow. Weeping cherry trees produce small, edible fruits, but they are not sweet and flavorful like other species of cherries. Fruits won’t go to waste though; they provide a welcome treat for a variety of bird species.

Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring.
We cannot send ship some plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by department of agriculture.
