Prunus ‘Kiku-shidare-zakura’ Tree – Weeping Cherry
Prunus ‘Kiku-shidare-zakura’, also known as the Weeping Cherry, is a spectacular ornamental tree with gracefully arching branches that cascade towards the ground. In spring, it is smothered in large, double, rose-pink blossoms that create a truly breathtaking display. The dense clusters of flowers stand out beautifully against bronze-tinged young foliage, which later matures to green through summer. In autumn, the tree provides additional interest with warm tones of orange and yellow. Compact and elegant, it makes a stunning feature tree for smaller gardens and courtyards.
