Double Weeping Cherry
Prunus subhirtella ‘Pendula Plena-Rosea’
The Double Weeping Cherry is a living fountain of flowers. In spring, its long, cascading branches are completely draped in showy, double pink blossoms, creating a magnificent floral waterfall. This dramatic, sculptural tree is a breathtaking focal point best suited for cooler Bay Area gardens where it can be planted to showcase its full, weeping form.
