Weeping Higan Flowering Cherry

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!

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!
