| Unique Characteristics: |
|
Floriferous nature, with a graceful weeping habit. Spectacular site each spring as a multitude of pink buds open up to 1" diameter blooms in a soft pink shade. The cascading, drooping branches create a gentle sway in the breeze for a soothing affect all summer long. Be sure to plant in an area where you will not have to worry about pedistrians or vehicles crossing underneath the canopy of branches. An underplanting of bulbs, perennials or small shrubs can add a nice touch to the already spectacular scene. |
| |
| Pruning: |
|
Keep pruning to a minimum. Only cut out crossed branches or badly placed ones. |
| |
| Time of Pruning: |
|
Early summer - sap bleeding is less likely. |
| |
| Additional Information: |
|
The fruit that develops later in the season is ornamentally insignificant. Squirrels and other small mammals are the only ones interested. |
