About Snow Fountain® Weeping Cherry Tree

Because it is moderately deer resistant, it serves as a durable solution for landscapes where local wildlife often browse.

The show begins in March or April with a heavy dusting of white weeping cherry blossoms that cover every arching branch. Once the flowers fade, glossy dark green leaves provide a cool summer canopy. As temperatures drop in autumn, the foliage shifts into shades of golden orange before revealing a strong, architectural branch structure that catches the winter snow.

No one is returning my support question about my tree dying. I've written twice.
Please help dont know how to save the snow fountain
Fast shipping. Perfectly healthy and packaged. A little over 6 feet tall. Looking forward to see it grow.
A 6-foot weeping cherry right out of the gate is a great start. Get it settled in this season and it will reward you with those long, sweeping branches covered in blooms before you know it. Thanks for sharing the update, Matthew.
I’ve contacted them twice about how my tree was received and i haven’t heard anything back. The roots were sticking out and the tree doesn’t even stand up in the pot . Will not buy a plant from them again. Very dissatisfied with the purchase
We have had a lot of rain. The leaves are curled. So I added sand and potting soil. Hope this helps
Hi Victoria,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our White SNOW FOUNTAINS® Weeping Cherry Tree. We're glad to hear that the plant arrived in ideal condition upon delivery.
We're sorry to hear that the leaves are currently curled. As you mentioned, adding sand and potting soil can definitely help with drainage and root health. Another tip we recommend is to make sure the tree is getting enough sunlight and to avoid overwatering. We hope this helps and that your tree flourishes in your garden.
Happy gardening!
Best,
Nature Hills Customer Service
Love it!!
Weeping cherries have a way of stopping people in their tracks, and the Snow Fountain variety is one of our favorites for that reason. Thanks for sharing, Bonnie. We hope it gives you years of beautiful spring blooms.
Beautiful tree but had a few broken branches on arrival. Hoping it does well. So far it seems to be doing fine. I’m expecting to see it thrive into a much larger, fuller tree.
Thank you, Karen! We are so glad to hear the Snow Fountain Weeping Cherry is settling in well despite the few broken branches it arrived with, and we are sorry about that rough start. If you have any concerns as it continues to establish, please do not hesitate to reach out to our support team so we can help. These trees are truly stunning as they mature and fill out, and we think you are going to love watching it grow!
Excellent
Thank you for the wonderful tree! Hassle free shopping and best customer service ever! Will be purchasing more very soon!
A Snow Fountain Weeping Cherry is such a rewarding plant to watch establish. Glad the ordering process was smooth and the team took good care of you. We look forward to helping you find your next addition to the garden.
ordering, shipping and package was great. It has only been a few weeks, so far seems to be all systems go.
Weeping cherries do tend to settle in well when the roots arrive in good shape, so it sounds like you are off to a solid start, Ron. Keep an eye on soil moisture through the first season since consistent watering really helps them establish. Thanks for sharing the early update, and we hope it puts on a great show for you come spring.
Arrived looking very healthy!
A healthy arrival is always the best start with a weeping cherry, and Snow Fountain tends to reward that strong beginning with a great first bloom season. Thanks for sharing, Bobbi. We hope it becomes a real standout in your yard for years to come.
Great product, healthy-looking, and packaging.Love it
A Snow Fountain in good health right out of the box is exactly what we aim for. That weeping form is going to put on quite a show come spring. Thanks for sharing, Eddy, and enjoy watching it settle in and grow!
I was afraid it would be damaged by the mail order. Its all good, in the ground growing very well.
Shipping concerns are totally understandable with bare-root or containerized trees, so it's good to hear yours arrived in solid shape and is already settling in. Weeping cherries tend to push new growth quickly once their roots find good soil. Enjoy the show when it blooms. Thanks for sharing the update, Sherrie!
Our tree arrived in great shape, only a few days after we placed our order. Looked to be in good health. planted well. Can't wait to see what it looks like in a few years.
A weeping cherry establishing well from the start is a great sign, Connie. Snow Fountain puts on a really beautiful show once it matures, with the cascading branches filling out more each spring. A little patience goes a long way with this one, and it sounds like yours is off to a solid start. Thanks for sharing the update.
I bought this tree as a memorial to my Mom. It has been very windy and chilly here so I am hoping it survives.
What a meaningful way to honor your Mom. Weeping cherries are resilient once they settle in, and a little wind stress early on is normal as the roots establish. If you can stake it loosely for the first season to keep the root ball from rocking, that will give it the best start. We hope it rewards you with many beautiful springs to come.
This is my third attempt at growing this tree. If this one dies I am done with it. The tree is so beautiful
Quality Plant!!! Great Packaging, Happy with my new plant!!!
A Snow Fountain Weeping Cherry is a real showstopper in spring, and it sounds like yours arrived ready to settle in. Thanks for the kind words on the packaging too. As it establishes, keep it consistently watered through its first season and you will be rewarded with those beautiful cascading blooms for years to come.
Beautiful tree, a nice touch to my garden. I love it so far!
A Snow Fountain Weeping Cherry really does earn its place in a garden. Once it gets established, the spring bloom display along those cascading branches is hard to beat. Thanks for sharing, Tonja, and enjoy watching it grow into its full shape over the next couple of seasons. The Nature Hills Team
I got this tree in April and it never got alot of leaves on it. It did not come back this spring and I fed it, sprayed it for pests and fungicide and munched it over e the winter. They will not respond to my request for a replacement
Tree arrived well-packaged and staked, and blooming! Now flourishing in the ground. Very well satisfied.
Blooming on arrival is a great sign, and it sounds like the Snow Fountain settled into its new spot without missing a beat. That weeping form only gets more striking as it matures, so you have a lot to look forward to each spring. Thanks for sharing the update, Marilyn. The Nature Hills Team
The tree is looking good it seems to be happy. hope it stays that way.
Hi Edward! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our White SNOW FOUNTAINS® Weeping Cherry Tree. We are happy to hear that the tree is looking good and seems to be thriving. To keep it that way, we recommend watering deeply once a week and providing a layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture. Happy gardening! -Nature Hills Customer Service

The tree was traveling for a full 6 days so was very stressed when it arrived. It lost some leaves but with a little care, it has recovered nicely. It was packaged well and arrived fully intact with no broken limbs. The shape is lovely. The size is good and I'm excited to see it's first blooms. I think it will be a great addition to our community.
I ordered the White Snow Fountain Weeping Cherry in a 4" x 4" x 6" pot last spring, potted it up, mulched it well and kept it on the patio (Zone 7a). It overwintered in the pot outside and bloomed this spring. It now stands nearly 3' tall and has several branches -- one over a foot long and already weeping. It's going into the ground this fall, as the centerpiece of our entrance garden.
Was loaded with flowers . Planted this spring
