Small Dramatic Weeping Shrub

Unusual growth pattern
Spring flowers
Hardy

The Walker Weeping Caragana is a small, deciduous shrub with a unique "weeping" appearance. It would look great as a small accent plant in your flower bed or anywhere you have a small place for an unconventional tree.

Your Walker Weeping Caragana is sure to draw a second look from the neighbors. With its dense feathery canopy and dramatic descent to the ground, your Caragana is a study in grace and elegance.

It's more tall than wide, so fits easily into almost any space in your garden.

Spring brings bright yellow flowers, lending a subtle two-toned appearance to the vibrant green of the plant.

However, you'll be more focused on the compound leaves that lend an endearing feathery appearance to your shrub. In the fall, those leaves will turn a pretty yellow before drifting to the ground in anticipation of winter.

Even as the weather turns cold, your Caragana will draw the eye.

The unusual shape and structure of the shrub make it a stand-out amid the standard winter shapes. Winter snows drift over the cascading branches and gather on the crown providing a lovely display in the cold landscape.

Caragana branches descend quickly giving you fast results in your new tree, but then slow down considerably, saving you from needing to extensively prune.

You won't have to fuss with this shrub as it's quite hardy and easy to grow. It even transplants easily, and is drought tolerant.

A Walker Weeping Caragana will be a delightful addition to your garden.

The tree was delivered 6 days after I ordered it (early May) by FedEx, in a sturdy box. Tree is probably 4 feet tall, with branches at the top, having some buds. I waited 3 days to plant it, and placed it outside in the shade. After I watered in, a new, green buds came through! I planted it yesterday.I was looking for interesting, dwarf trees, doing well in sunny areas. I'm excited to see it grow;)

Hardy tree

Had mine in a pot in the front yard for two years and looks great- even survived last winter with temps at -40. Just transplanted it into new landscaping and doing well. Nice focal point in yard.

We're thrilled to hear that your tree has thrived for two years, braving temperatures as low as -40, and is now a beautiful focal point in your new landscaping. It’s truly rewarding to know it's bringing charm to your yard.

Cute and Interesting Tree

I received this tiny tree about three months ago. It was a twig with some bare roots. I stuck the "stick" in some dirt and watered it. In no time, it grew tiny buds and eventually they grew into long, graceful weeping stems that nearly touch the ground. This tree is very interesting and I wish I had planted it in the planting beds in my front yard instead of my back yard. It is just interesting and gives some height and texture when planted in the center of a bed of flowers. I may have to get another one for my front yard; I like it that much! It gives my yard a very serene appearance with the feeling of a Thomas Kinkade painting. If you like that look, you must get this little tree!

Hello Kristi,

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with your Walker Weeping Caragana! We’re thrilled to hear how well it’s grown from a tiny twig into a graceful, serene addition to your garden. Your vivid description truly paints a beautiful picture—just like a captivating Thomas Kinkade scene.

It’s great that you’ve discovered how much you love its unique texture and height in your planting beds. If you decide to get another for your front yard, consider planting it in a spot with full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil to give it the best chance to thrive and make that peaceful statement you’ve described. Also, pruning lightly in early spring can help maintain its elegant weeping form and encourage fresh new growth.

If you have any questions as you expand your garden or need care tips for your caragana, don’t hesitate to reach out. We love helping passionate gardeners like you bring beauty and tranquility to their outdoor spaces!
