Tree Caring and Planting Information

Weeping Cherry Tree (Prunus)

Weeping Cherry Tree

"Subhertilla Pendula"

This Weeping Cherry tree should be staked for the fist two years until it reaches the desired height of 5' - 8'. Once it reaches the desired height you want, allow the tree to begin weeping. Cut off any branches that form below the desired height you want. With a little training and care, your weeping cherry will be beautiful. Gorgeous red flowers turning to pink and then to white appear in mid-spring on cascading branches. The green leaves of summer turn bronze in autumn. This tree is truly a beautiful specimen tree that is very drought - tolerant. This deciduous tree will perform best in full sun, and is hardy between zones 4-10.

Bare-root trees will arrive to you in a plastic tube via the United States Priority Mail or UPS. The roots will be wrapped in damp shredded paper to insure freshness. The tops of some trees have been intentionally cut back to encourage branching and to help the tree survive the transplant. All bare-root trees will need planted as quick as possible. Even if it is still cold outside, plant your tree shortly after it arrives and water thoroughly and frequently. Dig a hole approximately twice the size of the tree's root. Fill the bottom half of the hole with topsoil and plant the tree in the top half with the base of the tree at the soil line or just below. Mulch your tree with 2" of shredded hardwood bark to insulate the roots and prevent water from evaporating around the tree. Your newly transplanted tree will need a lot of care the first year. It is not uncommon for a newly planted tree to die back a little or even loose its first set of leaves the first year. Do not fertilize your tree the first year, but do give it plenty of water. Once your tree is established (after the first year), it will require little care.
