More about this plant
A small weeping cherry, 8 to 15 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide, whose long cascading branches are covered in early spring with single pure white flowers opening from pink buds. Dark green ovate leaves follow and turn gold, yellow and orange in fall, and small red fruits that ripen black form sporadically. It grows slowly in full sun to partial shade on moist, well drained soil of almost any texture or pH, stays relatively problem free, and fits a patio, small space or border as a specimen.
