Summary
A refined ornamental tree with a naturally cascading silhouette.
Snow Fountains® Weeping Cherry produces an abundance of white blossoms along gracefully arching branches each spring. The fountain-like form creates strong visual movement, making it well suited for specimen planting where its structure can be appreciated.

Care
Snow Fountains® Weeping Cherry Care
Plant in full sun for the best flowering performance. While partial sun is tolerated, bloom density improves with increased light exposure.
Grow in well-drained soil with consistent moisture during establishment. Once established, the tree benefits from regular watering during extended dry periods.
Apply a slow release fertilizer in early spring if soil fertility is low.
Light pruning may be done after flowering to maintain clearance beneath cascading branches. Avoid heavy pruning except during dormancy.
