Description
Cherry Pink Weeping is a stunning ornamental tree that brings movement and a refreshing splash of color to the early spring landscape. Cascading branches drape beautifully toward the ground, covered in masses of soft pink blossoms that create a spectacular floral display. This beautiful tree offers interest even when not in bloom, with finely textured green foliage in summer and a touch of golden color in fall. Its elegant, textural form adds a lovely sculptural presence to lawns, borders, or reflected in a water feature.

Though not grown for fruit, it puts on a show worthy of a centerpiece and is especially prized for its early-season impact when little else is blooming.

General Care

• Sunlight: Prefers full sun
• Watering: Water regularly after planting to establish strong roots and support early growth; once established, water occasionally as needed during extended dry periods
• Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch to conserve moisture and help regulate soil temperature
• Pruning: Prune in late winter to early spring before bud break to maintain structure and remove any dead or crowded branches

With its polished cascading form, magnificent spring flowers, and year-round structure, Cherry Pink Weeping makes a showstopping statement in the landscape and brings elegance and seasonal brilliance to any setting.
