Pink Snow Showers™ Weeping Cherry Tree

Few trees announce spring with as much drama as the Pink Snow Showers™ Weeping Cherry (Prunus 'Pisnshzam'). Before the first leaves unfurl, long cascading branches become completely covered in clusters of double pink flowers, creating a breathtaking floral curtain that stops traffic and draws admirers from across the neighborhood.

A Showstopper in Bloom

This improved weeping cherry variety produces an abundance of fluffy, double pink blossoms in early to mid-spring. The flowers emerge on gracefully arching branches that sweep downward in elegant layers, some nearly reaching the ground on mature specimens. Each bloom is packed with extra petals, giving the tree a fuller, more romantic appearance than single-flowered weeping cherries. The effect is nothing short of spectacular.

Year-Round Architectural Interest

Pink Snow Showers earns its place in the landscape long after the spring show ends. Summer brings glossy green foliage that clothes the pendulous branches in dense, flowing layers. The naturally cascading form creates movement in the slightest breeze and provides dappled shade beneath the canopy. Come fall, the leaves transition to warm shades of golden yellow and bronze before dropping to reveal the tree's elegant silhouette through winter.

Perfect Specimen Placement

This ornamental cherry grows 20-25 feet tall with a spread of 15-20 feet, making it ideal as a specimen tree in front yards, near patios, or as an accent beside water features. The weeping habit looks especially striking when planted where branches can cascade over a wall, slope, or pond edge. For smaller spaces, Pink Snow Showers can be trained as a more compact form with selective pruning.

Easy Care Beauty

Unlike some ornamental cherries, Pink Snow Showers requires minimal fuss once established. The tree adapts to various soil types, resists browsing deer, and attracts early-season pollinators like bees and butterflies to its nectar-rich flowers. Simply provide full sun, decent drainage, and consistent moisture during establishment, and this fast-growing beauty rewards you with decades of unforgettable spring displays.
