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!
Planting and Application:
Weeping Higan Flowering Cherry is a must-have specimen for your front yard plantings! Sacrifice a bit of lawn and create a raised berm or curving garden bed right in front of your front door to highlight these gorgeous trees! Park a garden bench beneath a limbed-up tree for headroom, or create an arching canopy for you to walk under on a footpath or as you pass from your front yard to the back
Perfect trees for both Asian-inspired Zen gardens and for draping themselves over Rock gardens, you will elevate a back seating area or add the crown jewel to grace any garden bed. Groupings of three create magical groves for kids to play beneath and for lazy spring and summer days stretched out beneath the fragrant blooms and summer shade!
- Scented Pink Spring Blossoms
- Bronzed New Leaves & Lush Green Summer Foliage
- Ornate Drooping Limbs
- Gorgeous Specimens & Pollinator-Friendly
- Ornamental Shade, Accents & Focal Point Trees
#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.
- Full Sun
- Moderate Yet Consistent Moisture Needs
- Adaptable Once Established
- Appreciates Rich Well-Drained Soil & Mulch
- Prune When Dormant
Weeping Higan Flowering Cherry will be the object of affection for everyone in your neighborhood (or is that a hint of jealousy?) when you plant these scented pink flowering and drooping ornamentals in your yard this year! Hurry and secure yours before the Joneses do by reserving one of NatureHills.com for shipping this spring!
