Bay Area–Based Nursery

We specialize in plants grown and delivered in their original pots and soil.
Because of their size and weight, our plants are not suitable for long-distance shipping and are delivered locally to ensure health and quality.

While delivery is limited to our local service area, we’re happy to support garden design and plant selection remotely.

For local plant professionals, we’re always glad to connect and explore ways to support your customers.

The Snow Fountains® Weeping Cherry is a more compact, manageable fountain of spring snow. Its extremely narrow, cascading form is covered in a profusion of single white flowers, making it ideal for smaller spaces. It is one of the more adaptable weeping cherries and can be a excellent choice for a dramatic vertical accent in Bay Area gardens with some winter chill.

Showcases a stunning, narrow, fountain-like form where every branch gracefully weeps to the ground, covered in pure white, single flowers in spring.
Offers a much smaller, more columnar footprint than larger weeping cherries, making it perfect for tight spaces, entryways, or large containers.
Provides exceptional multi-season interest: flowers in spring, green foliage in summer, yellow fall color, and an attractive, tangled winter silhouette.
Considered one of the hardiest and most disease-resistant weeping cherries, often performing more reliably in a wider range of conditions.
Relatively better suited for Bay Area gardens than many other cherries, but still prefers a site with some winter chill.

Knowing how we measure the size?

When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

A larger gallon size generally means:
- A more established root system
- A sturdier plant
- Faster visual impact after planting
Example:
- 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity
- 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.

🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

Commonly used for:
- Ornamental trees
- Feature plants
- Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.
Why choose Multi:
- Fuller, more sculptural appearance
- Strong visual presence even at younger ages
- Popular for design-focused landscapes

🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

Commonly used for:
- Shade trees
- Street trees
- Orchard and structural plantings
Why choose Stand:
- Clean, classic tree form
- Easier clearance for walkways and lawns
- Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity

🌿 Choosing the Right Size

If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form
If you want long-term structure → Stand form
If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers

If you’re unsure which size or form fits your project, our team is happy to help you select the best option based on your space, timeline, and design goals.

Q: How wide does it get? Can I grow it in a patio container?
A: It typically stays only 6-8 feet wide but can be taller. Yes, it is an outstanding candidate for a large, sturdy patio container where its cascading form can be elevated and fully appreciated.

Q: Does it require staking?
A: The central leader (trunk) is usually staked when young to ensure it grows straight and strong to support the weeping canopy. Mature trees generally do not require staking.
