Weeping Higan Flowering Cherry

Weeping Higan Flowering Cherry tree (Prunus subhirtella 'Pendula') is a fantastic weeping ornamental flowering tree with so many mind-blowing features to impart to your landscape! Start spring with those dripping branches that grow out and then weep down. New spring foliage starts bronzed and matures to a gorgeous green! Then spring erupts in big hot pink buds that burst open into scented pinkish-white flowers!

A modest-sized specimen, Higan's Pink is a favorite of bees, butterflies, and the occasional hummingbird, and the pendulous branching adds a magical effect to your garden! There's nothing quite as magnetic as a Pink Weeping Cherry tree to add some serious bonus points to your home's curb appeal!

Weeping Cherry trees do best in USDA hardiness zones 5 through 8. Though not the fastest-growing trees, their ease of care and slow and steady growth mean less work for you! Less pruning and less fussing as well! Giving you plenty of time to watch your tree develop its unique weeping form while also giving you the time to train it the way you want!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Higan Weeping Cherry trees need full sun to flower their very best year after year! Provide a well-drained rich soil location with 3-4 inches of arborist mulch or compost as top dressing every year. Water regularly while young trees are establishing, but once settled, Weeping Cherry trees can tolerate light drought. But to keep your trees happy and flowering, give them a long drink during hot summers and extended periods without rain. Prune these flowering trees while they are dormant in the late winter or very early spring.
