Have you seen a weeping cherry tree? The tree is one of the ornamental trees that will look so stunning in the spring time. The tree has pendulant branches that are covered with flowers of white or pink depending on the variety. The tree is simply so graceful and elegant. If you put the stunning beauty on your lawn, you would certainly get enough attention for any passersby. You will also have the difficulties in turning your head from the tree, especially in spring.
There are different species of the tree and different cultivars have created a wide range of cherry tree sizes. There is the small 8 foot dwarf tree but there are also those 40 foot type with branches spreading like canopies. The large ones are usually grown in the suburban areas as well as in the wild as they are simply too big for most of the urban houses. But if you do have the space, the tree is just worth every inch of the space it occupies.
If you are interested to plant the weeping cherry trees, then you should know what the trees like. They would bloom the best when there are placed in the area with full sun, however this does not mean that they have not toleration at all toward shade as they can still take a little shade. For the soil, they like the well drained soil because when their soil is too wet, they may have rotting problems. One of the worst area to get the rot would be the roots. Once the roots are rotten, the weeping cherry trees may not be able to continue living. It is also very difficult to detect the root rot issue unless you can pluck out the tree and examine the root. The only way to save any plants from rotten rot is to cut the rotten area before it spreads.
The weeping cherry tree likes to be around the good air circulation, especially in the area around the tree’s canopy like branches. The air is so important because good circulation will help to prevent a number of diseases. That is why, when you are planting a weeping cherry tree since it is very young, you need to consider that the tree will one day grow so big. That is why you need to keep the appropriate distance between the trees to other objects, especially building structures, so that they have plenty of room for their branches.
